Speaking of Cults...Scientology and the Brain with Jon Atack

Today I welcome back Jon Atack to continue our series of podcasts to debunk the "basics" of Scientology, one bit at a time. This week we didn't make a lot of progress in our book review as we kept it short and mainly addressed Hubbard and his very outmoded ideas about the human brain. Enjoy!

Roehampton University in London is conducting a survey into the effects of mandated shunning—or enforced disconnection—with the aim of introducing new legal provisions to the UK's existing coercive control law. This important study will help shift public opinion, offer protection and safeguarding to former members, and encourage education in our schools about the dangers of high-demand groups and their authoritarian practices. The survey is anonymised. It takes about an hour to complete, but can be done in stages at your own pace. Windy and Savin would also like to talk with people who have suffered disconnection. Please take the survey and let others know about it. Take the survey here: https://stopmandatedshunning.org/survey/ And here's the information page: https://roehamptonpsych.az1.qualtrics... or you may contact the researchers directly: Dr Savin Bapir-Tardy Senior lecturer in Counselling Psychology Roehampton University (s.bapir-tardy@roehampton.ac.uk) Dr Windy Grendele, Senior lecturer in Psychology, Roehampton University (Windy.grendele@roehampton.ac.uk) Thanks!
