Type: Press Author(s): Maura Judkis Source: GW Hatchet When prospective students tour GW, one of the things they learn is how easy it is to start an organization. Tour guides chirp about the school's most famous alumni - Colin Powell and Jackie O, of course, and if the tour guide is feeling daring, he might throw Watergate's "Deep Throat" into the mix. But one name that prospective students do not hear is that of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology. Perhaps it's because students are ...

Type: Press Author(s): Michael Jonathan Grinfeld Source: Psychiatric Times Take years of research, clinical observations, technological advancements and scientific discovery, and then subject them to derision and skepticism during a celebrity rant that's part of a promotional tour for an upcoming movie, and suddenly it's a media event. Sounds odd, but it describes what happened after Tom Cruise decided to take on psychiatry while hawking his new movie, War of the Worlds, and the news media decided to turn the story into the latest shouting match for talking heads.

Weeks earlier, Cruise had criticized actress Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants for postpartum depression.

Type: Press Author(s): Anderson Cooper Source: CNN COOPER: It's no secret that Tom Cruise is a devoted, outspoken member of the Church of Scientology. That has not always been the case. There was a time when the subject of his religion was off limits to reporters and to interviewers. Not so now. Just ask Matt Lauer who got lectured by Cruise weeks ago on what the actors says are the evils of psychiatry. Now, while some are surprised by the chance in Cruise, former Scientologists insist it's really ...

Type: Press Author(s): Virginia Linn Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette In the 1900 block of East Carson Street on the South Side, there's an unassuming storefront that marked its first anniversary last month. It's the Pittsburgh office of the Church of Scientology, the controversial religious movement that recently captured international headlines when celebrity disciple Tom Cruise became increasingly public and, at times, combative, about his beliefs. Although the office opened here with little fanfare, Scientologists have high hopes for its growth as they try to regain a foothold in the region ...

Type: Press Author(s): Katharine Mieszkowski Source: Salon The controversial church, whose founder called shrinks "terrorists" and which labels mental illness a fraud, is closer than you think to implanting its extreme beliefs in the nation's laws and schools. It may be easy to dismiss Tom Cruise's recent outbursts against psychiatry as the ravings of an egomaniacal celebrity. Comedians have certainly had a field day with Cruise, a fervent disciple of the Church of Scientology, ever since he scolded Brooke Shields for taking prescribed medication to treat her postpartum ...

Type: Press Author(s): Mark Schwed Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer It was supposed to be a simple publicity tour for the movie "War of the Worlds," but it has turned into a war of words. The movie's star, Tom Cruise, has been on a crusade that has nothing to do with the movie and a lot to do with his religious beliefs in the Church of Scientology. First, Cruise publicly attacked Brooke Shields for taking the anti-depressant Paxil for postpartum depression. Then he went after "Today" anchor Matt Lauer for not ...

Is it because of a new private conviction, or a new public role for the church itself? In the course of just a few months, Tom Cruise has made an astounding public leap: He has transformed himself from one of the world's biggest movie stars into one of the oddest. It's not just his sudden romance with and engagement to actress Katie Holmes, which has not yet managed to shake the air ... Tag(s): Anti-psychiatry • Body thetans (BTs) • Bridge Publications, Inc.

Whatever: Anybody who watched the actor's performance on NBC's "Today" show yesterday witnessed an unsettling transformation. The movie star, who has long embraced Scientology, launched a full-bore assault on the psychiatric profession, sticking to a script that his church (founded, mind you, by a hack science fiction writer) has been promoting for decades.

"I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever," he said. Do all Scientologists have a problem with psychiatry? Yes.

According to several sources inside the world’s largest-selling monthly, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jackie Leo, wanted Cruise as her cover boy but was impeded by the magazine’s history with the controversial group.

While Mr. Cruise’s claims of expertise in the history of psychiatry were unchallenged, as physicians and psychiatrists we know the complex facts he distorted and the damage such glib untruths cause. Like all of medicine, psychiatric knowledge is far from perfect. However, despite side effects the discovery of antipsychotic medications helped free millions of patients from unrelenting hallucinations and from long ...
