PTS Handling - Study by John McMaster and Per Schioettz' Approach

 

This is an important issue, as it corrects an error made by LRH in the development of PTS handling.

In a nutshell, the story is this: LRH had a study about suppressive influences done by John McMaster. This study came out with a very clear and distinct result, and based on that John McMaster suggested a handling.

LRH found that too complicated and scrapped it. Instead, he introduced the S & D (Search and Discovery) procedure that we all have studied. It shifts responsibility to the SP instead of handling the item that is sitting there in the PC's case - which is why the PC's case does not substantially and permanently improve; he remains prone to the same restimulation by the same or other "suppressives".

Independently of John's results, AOSH EU's lead NOTs auditor of many years, Per Schioettz, has come to the same conclusion and developed a handling that is presented here (we are still working on retrieving his drawings from old file formats). This approach has worked in actual application many 100 times.

Here are some technical comments by Heidrun Beer and Rowland Barkley, from a discussion of Per's article on a mailing list.
