This article is from the Scientology Catechism, by scninfo@pcnet.com (Scientology Information Server) with numerous contributions by others.

3.1 Is Scientology like hypnotism, meditation, psychotherapy or other mental therapies?

There is no resemblance. In fact, it was as a result of
L. Ron Hubbard's investigation of hypnotism and many
other mental practices that he saw the need for practical
answers to man's problems. In his book, _Dianetics: The
Modern Science of Mental Health_, he wrote that he had
found hypnotism and psychotherapy to be dangerous and
impractical. Nearly all other methods of alleged menta]
science are based on principles that are quite the
opposite of those used in Scientology. They treat man as
a "thing" to be conditioned, not as a spiritual being who
can find answers to life's problems and who can improve
enormously.
