Why is scientology considered as a psuedoscience?

Answer 1

The Scientology movement has a chart, listing ALL of their spiritual steps in their "Bridge to Total Freedom".

The "lower levels" are talk therapy, and trauma reduction talk therapy, that gets a person up to the "Clear" status.

The "upper levels" (5 of the 8 "upper levels") consist of high volume exorcism.

So, the bottom part of Scientology's practices are Hubbard's pseudo-therapy, and the upper levels (the bulk) are exorcism.

Hubbard's exorcism and Hubbard's pseudo-talk therapy are why Scientology is thus a pseudo-science.

Exorcism is NOT established medical practice.

It is possible that there is placebo value improvement, though, in ALL of the Hubbard pseudo-therapy and Hubbard's high volume exorcism (why it's high volume, is because Hubbard believed we are infested with a HUGE number of hitchhiking dead alien souls that leak their mental implanted garbage thoughts into our minds, thus it's best to simply exorcise these hitchhiking souls OFF our bodies en masse, since we are high volume infested, we need high volume exorcism, per Hubbard).

This Scientology spiritual improvement therapy/exorcism is what is pseudo-science.
