Hey bobcollier, thanks for sharing. I think I recall Robert Whitaker talking about how Scientology was used to discredit the critics of psychiatry in his book, Anatomy of an Epidemic.

Yes, it did seem to be that "You must be a Scientologist" was a stock response to anybody who questioned the official line. There seems to have been a kind of war going on between the Church of Scientology and psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association in particular, for a long time. I learn from your introductory YouTube video that you're from England. So am I, and I live in Australia now. Years ago when I was exploring what I choose to call "the psychiatric labels scam", I found that advantageous because my thinking on these things wasn't trained by the direct to consumer advertising that Americans have been and are subjected to. Speaking of which, you might be interested in the work of John Breeding, author of The Wildest Colts Make The Best Horses.
Thanks for the recommendation. Based on the Amazon description, it sounds like quite an interesting read.
He has an interesting website too at www.wildestcolts.com
