Introspection Rundown

The Introspection Rundown is a controversial Church of Scientology auditing process that is intended to handle a psychotic episode or complete mental breakdown.

[3][4][1] The first step of the Introspection Rundown is "isolate the person wholly with all attendants completely muzzled (no speech)."

[3] To administer this rundown a Scientologist requires an education in Scientology beliefs and practices (which are dubbed "technologies" by the Church).

The technical bulletin goes on: “This Rundown is very simple but cannot be flubbed, as that will compound the errors and cause further introspection in the pc".

"[4] Hubbard declared about the Introspection Rundown: "This means the last reason to have psychiatry around is gone", because "I have made a technical breakthrough which possibly ranks with the major discoveries of the Twentieth Century.

The Church has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and now makes members sign a waiver before Introspection Rundown specifically stating that they (or anyone on their behalf) will not bring any legal action against the organization over injury or death.
