1. An answer to the goal of thought.

2. A single source of all insanities, psychoses, neurosis, compulsions, repressions and social derangements.

3. Invariant scientific evidence as to the basic nature and functional background of the human mind.

5. Methods of prevention of mental derangement.

6. The cause and cure of all psychosomatic ills which number, some say, 70 percent of man's listed ailments.

Simple though it is, Dianetics does and is these things:

1. It is an organized science of thought built on definite axioms (statements of natural laws on the order of those of the physical sciences).

2. It contains a therapeutic technique with which can be treated all inorganic mental ills and all organic psychosomatic ills, with assurance of complete cure in unselected cases.

3. It produces a condition of ability and rationality for man well in advance of the current norm, enhancing rather than destroying his vigor and personality.

4. Dianetics gives a complete insight into the full potentialities of the mind, discovering them to be well in excess of past supposition.

5. The basic nature of man is discovered in Dianetics rather than hazarded or postulated, since that basic nature can be brought into action in any individual completely. And that basic nature is discovered to be good.

6. The single source of mental derangement is discovered and demonstrated, on a clinical or laboratory basis, by Dianetics.

7. The extent, storage capacity and recallability of human memory is finally established by Dianetics®.

8. The full recording abilities of the mind are discovered by Dianetics® with the conclusion that they are quite dissimilar to former suppositions.

9. Dianetics® bring forth the nongerm theory of disease, complementing biochemistry and Pasteur's work on the germ theory to embrace the field.

10. With Dianetics® ends the "necessity" of destroying the brain by shock or surgery to effect "tractibility" in mental patients and "adjust" them.

11. A workable explanation of the physiological effects of drugs and endocrine substances exists in Dianetics, and many problems posed by endocrinology are answered.

12. Various educational, sociological, political, military and other human studies are enhanced by Dianetics®.

13. The field of cytology is aided by Dianetics, as well as other fields of research.

This then, is a skeletal sketch of what would be the scope of the science of mind and of what is the scope of Dianetics®.
