Cruise claims Scientology helped him...and I'm sure whatever common psych treatment Scientology did for him helped him...but then they took credit for creating the psych treatment and that is wrong.
To be frank, Cruise was misdiagnosed as a child. Scientology learned this and used it to gain Cruise's trust by helping him overcome his psych problem. Once hooked, it was easy to get him completely absorbed. As someone else said, the Scientology that Cruise gets is not what other get.
Anyway, Scientology teaches (upon payment) a wide variety of helpful psych methods that DO work. Frankly, some of them are worth the money. For example, the confront-shatter suppression works......the concentration under pressure exercise works. But Scientology borrowed these methods from other places and sell them AND call themselves a religion AND ostracize you from everything not Scientology...that is wrong...that is a cult.
BTW: Scientology actually does have the 411 on the destructive/suppressive agenda of the psychological industry and several other "authorities". However, going from the main stream into Scientology is like going from the frying pan into the fire.
Cults hook you (and Tom Cruise) with some valuable truths and then trap you in a prison of lies.
