Scientology was founded in the early 1950s by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who published Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in 1950, promoting a system he claimed could cure psychological and physical ailments through a process called auditing. The movement evolved into the Church of Scientology, establishing a highly organized religious structure, celebrity outreach, and controversial practices, including aggressive legal and public relations campaigns. Over the decades, it has faced criticism for alleged exploitation, secrecy, and harassment of critics, while maintaining a devoted international following.
