公民人權委員會

公民人權委員會（英語縮寫為：CCHR）也稱公民人權協會，由山達基教會與美國精神病學家湯瑪士·薩茲博士於1969年在美國成立，山達基教會資助和經營^[13]。該組織總部坐落於美國洛杉磯，自稱其目的是消除精神病學的不人道行為及虐行，實際目的是否定精神病的存在，並消除整個精神科醫學領域，以山達基的方法取而代之^[14]。大多數非山達基教徒視其為山達基教的掩護團體，其目的是推動教會的反精神病學議程。

關閉

公民人權委員會在台灣的分會為成立於2012年的中華公民人權協會，該組織在台灣積極宣傳1960年代以前的陳舊精神病學問題，以及診斷錯誤的例子，藉以攻擊整個精神科醫學^[15]。至於在心理干預之後，該組織提供的方案則多為山達基教會的外圍機構的精油、排毒、磁療、超劑量維他命療法等非實證醫療的邊緣療法^[16]^[17]。

協會對精神病的看法

公民人權委員會對精神病學的看法，直接反映了新興宗教山達基教創始人L·羅恩·賀伯特的立場，其作品非常強烈地表達了反精神醫學的觀點。根據賀伯特的認知，所有精神科醫生都是罪犯^[18]。

雖然公民人權委員會陳述其創會宗旨是「調查和揭露精神科違反人權」，但在山達基自己內部的募款出版物上，其目標是完全消除「身心性疾病」這個詞彙，並請成員實現這一目標：「參加消除精神病的團隊」、「現在該是制止精神病學和它的犯罪行為的時候了」、「消除精神科醫生正是公民人權協會正在做的事！」。^[19]

此內外宣傳的差異引起許多人批評指出「公民人權委員會」其實是山達基教的掩護團體，目的是推廣山達基反精神科醫學的教義^[1]。

[ Fence Post ]. Chicago Daily Herald (Letters to the Editor). 4 January 2001. Dangerous program / In a letter to Fence Post (Dec. 12), Susan Stozewski of the Chicago Church of Scientology attempts to promote a drug rehab program called Narconon. I wish to warn readers that Narconon is a front group for the Church of Scientology. I found from personal experience that Narconon is a sham and is, in fact, a slick device to lure unsuspecting people into Scientology. An acquaintance of mine recently discovered that she had serious liver damage from Narconon's bogus "purification" program and she now cannot get health insurance coverage. Another Scientology front group to beware of is the CCHR or Citizens Commission on Human Rights. The CCHR is using tax-exempt funds in a covert campaign to discredit psychiatric-psychology treatment. The CCHR has an extensive network of agents that are distributing distortions about psychiatric treatment and medications such as Prozac and Ritalin. This is a very dangerous thing and people should be aware that it is going on. / Jim Beebe / Northbrook

U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejects Scientologists' petition. Business Wire (reprinting Eli Lilly press release). 1 August 1991. The petition sought the removal of Prozac (fluoxetine hydrochloride, Dista) from the market and was filed in October 1990 by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a Scientology front group. The FDA is to be commended on its careful review of pertinent scientific data, which led to this most recent reaffirmation of the safety and effectiveness of Prozac. From the start, the campaign against Prozac, of which the CCHR petition was a part, has been a dangerous deception. Scientology's disinformation is a menace to the public health as it attempts to frighten patients away from appropriate medical care and safe and effective medicines.

The Scientology Church of Hollywood. The Globe and Mail. 11 September 1993. Scientology's physical presence in Los Angeles and Hollywood is massive. It owns at least seven large buildings, staffed by 2,500 members, and is associated with a wide array of local organizations - "front groups" to their detractors. Some are directly affiliated, like the Citizens' Commission on Human Rights, an anti-psychiatry group, and Author Services, which represents Mr. Hubbard's books and hires actors like Roddy McDowall and Bruce Boxleitner to read the Scientology founder's books on tape. Others have Scientologists on staff and use church methods.

Scientology operates several drug rehab, education and anti-psychiatry organizations. / · Narconon: The church's drug-rehabilitation program was founded 35 years ago. It has 145 centers in 38 countries. Narconon is based partly on Scientology's belief that drugs accumulate in body fat. / · Crimonon: A prison program founded in 1972 that draws on Scientology principles to rehabilitate prisoners. The program rejects traditional mental-health care. Hubbard believed that Scientology could help rid the planet of crime. / · Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR): Established in 1969 as an anti-psychiatry organization, CCHR promotes Hubbard's teachings against modern psychiatry. It charges that psychiatry has no scientific foundation, that psychiatric drugs cause violent behavior and that chemical imbalances have never been proven.
