Disclaimer

Sir: Over the last few months the name Peter Thompson has been associated In'Ith statements made by the Church Scientology and I believe it is 74,110min that I am not the Peter "lompson associated with the Church of Scientology. Tile confusion has arisen, much to embarrassment professionally and socially. because I am known in the Mental health world as an organiser of e Guideposts Trust for the mentally as a trustee of the Dawn ComTunftY Centre for the mentally han'caPped, and as a campaigner for the ,Conditions in Broadmoor, other special 20spitals and in national reform of the ireatment for the mentally ill.

of am totally opposed to the Church " Scientology and I velieve it is reprehensible that they should seek to It/lairsuade members of the public that ti eY are a religion and in so doing, at Ines confuse the mentally ill with regard to their faith in the psychiatric Profession and mental health care.
