"Scientologists are aiming their "teachings" at people with mental health problems, some of the most vulnerable in society. [...] We should be encouraging women to talk about their mental health problems, not vilifying them when they seek treatment."
-Dr Max Pemberton on Scientology's opposition to psychiatry, The Telegraph
