I used to live across the street from one of their big buildings. They have a truck with a "Psychiatry: the Science of Death" billboard on it that they drive around town, and they also have a museum close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame with exhibits about why psychiatry is the science of death.
Oh, and I forget which, but they either think that the universe is 73 billion or 73 trillion years old, and that most of the problems of the world are due to people being controlled or something by "thetans" which are bad spirits of some sort. Presumably the psychiatrists on the home planet were responsible for the thetans or something.
I suspect that the whole anti-psychiatry thing is more because psychiatrists will be involved in any de-cult-ing process, and they want to make sure that cult members are brainwashed to stay as far away from psychiatrists as possible.
