Nonfiction. NAKED SCIENTOLOGY contains articles and letters by Burroughs critiquing Scientology, a religion with which he was involved for some time and toward which he maintains a reserved curiosity. According to Burroughs, some of the techniques are highly valuable and warrant further study and experimentation, while on the other hand he is in flat disagreement with the organizational policy. ALI'S SMILE is a hallucinatory dream-tale that loosely takes as its subject the negative effects of Scientology. Bilingual, in English and German.

This review is from: Ali's Smile / Naked Scientology (Paperback)
as someone kind of forced into psychiatrists and psychologists, even though probably not alot of people are going to read william burroughs for psychiatry information, this book might be kind of helpful, even though its not nearly the only one, to get a different ideas about what psychiatry is about. since it challenges psychiatry's existence, or by now well-established existence. so, maybe it would be a good book to read if like me you dont want to take it too for granted that psychiatrists have some kind of authority over your existence or even a reason, a good reason, for existing at all. which happens, that some kind of science comes and goes, like phrenology, and then goes away as a kind of mistake. so, its possible thats the same for psychiatry, even though right now, at least in my life and i think, even though i dont keep up with it or watch tv that much and see the commericials, in other lives, its supposed to have some kind of authority or youre even supposed to defer to doctors ... kind of frightening but i guess thats how it is. unfortunately.

Don't waste your time! Just a collage of random thoughts that might have have been applicable in the 70s.
