1950
In early 1950, Mr. Hubbard published an article on Dianetics in the prestigious Explorers Club Journal, then went on to release Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in May of 1950. News of Dianetics soon spread nationwide, and he was deluged with demands for more data.

In August he lectured to a crowd of over 6,000 people at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, and within a few short months there were more than 700 groups practicing Dianetics in the US alone, led by the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation in Elizabeth, New Jersey and its offices in New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, Los Angeles and Hawaii.

Mr. Hubbard spent much of his time traveling across the US to lecture to the public, but he still found the time to write articles and technical bulletins describing new techniques, and to begin work on upcoming books covering his further advances in Dianetics.
