So apparently psych is a pseudoscience...

[A Black Falcon]

Tom Cruise is ... um, as GR said, can we just say 'he's a Scientologist' and let that stand for itsself? :)

The difference between psychiatrists and psychologists, I'm pretty sure I've learned, is that psychiatrists can proscribe medicine, while psychologists just talk to you... so those TV people are mainly trying to be psychologists, not psychiatrists. :)

... so does that mean that scientologists just have a problem with psychiatrists, not psychologists? Of course finding problems with either is stupid, because they are quite definitely proven to work... I should know... (well, not the medicine part, as I don't want to use any, but the therapist (psychologist I guess) part anyway...)

Other than that... what made you bring this up? I mean, I doubt that anyone here is going to agree with whose silly accusations Cruise made or anything... so what's the point?

In general, that crazy german guy we all know the name of was wrong on a lot of counts, specifically the idea that things like hypnosis are any more real than demon posession states or the idea of a real subconcious or the idea that crack is a good medicinal aid.

His theories are funny to read about, though... :) (but yeah, very little accuracy)
