  <abstract>Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science by L. Ron Hubbard is an autobiographical and technical account detailing Hubbard's two-decade research path that led to the creation of Dianetics. Originally published as a magazine feature to introduce Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the book outlines his isolation of the core drive to "Survive!", his discovery of the "reactive mind" and "engrams" (subconscious traumatic recordings), and the step-by-step methodology he used to formulate Dianetics processing techniques.</abstract>
