1983 by "Chinese" version of Chris Butler claiming he has "researchers" that belong to the Science of Identity Institute around the world:
Publisher’s Note
This book focuses on the social problems of drug addiction, suicide, and divorce in Western society. Its compilers, Bai Zhongyan and Zhang Huilan, are both foreign writers, and they wrote it specifically for Chinese readers.
Beginning from the “Science of Identity” philosophy in which they believe, the compilers analyze drug addiction, suicide, and divorce as pathological social phenomena and describe the harm they cause. The authors are not Marxists and therefore cannot provide a Marxist analysis of many of these questions. Nevertheless, the book contains a considerable quantity of source material. We believe it will be useful to researchers whether or not they agree with the compilers’ philosophical views, and we have therefore decided to publish it.
We thank Bai Zhongyan, Zhang Huilan, and the book’s other contributors for their concern for our country’s modernization.

Dedication
I respectfully dedicate this book to all Chinese friends who genuinely care about the happiness of their country’s people, and to those Chinese friends wholeheartedly striving to help the People’s Republic of China advance materially and spiritually.
In China, hundreds of millions of people are serving the people with all their hearts and minds. This book is also one insignificant person’s sincere attempt to offer you a small service. I earnestly hope it may be of some use.
From Bai Zhongyan’s Acknowledgments
I am not the sole author of this book—or, more accurately, I suppose I am its compiler—because many of the articles sent from New Zealand, Australia, West Germany, Britain, and the United States were largely written by citizens of those countries. They are all researchers with the Science of Identity Institute in their respective countries.
I revised, edited, and generally polished their submissions, but I left most of the basic articles unchanged, preserving their original form. I believe this gives the book more “character,” although certain portions may consequently appear repetitive and cumbersome.
I also believe that the people best suited to write about a country’s social problems are citizens of that country who are actively engaged in social research and social work. All the Science of Identity researchers who contributed to this book meet those qualifications.
The contents divide the book into:
1. Illegal drugs — pages 1–160
2. Legal drugs, including alcohol and psychoactive medications — pages 161–400
3. Suicide — pages 401–466
4. Divorce — pages 467–582
5. Hedonism — page 583
6. Conclusion — page 596
