It's a pity though that the pre forum attendees weren't exposed to the many plagiarized yet perfectly helpful psychological techniques used by landmark but without all the bs and manipulation landmark mixes in with them.
This was a problem for me because the naturopath I went to, while secretly using Landmark technologies, had introduced me to many of the psychological techniques, as well as a mish-mash of eastern philosophies that Landmark used. In other words, he plagiarized Landmark's plagiarized material. So, there would be times during the Forum that I felt totally depressed because I would recognize some of these ancient and some sacred philosophies and teachings and feel very stupid for not feeling better. Knowing a little bit about these philosophies actually let me think Landmark was credible and that I was just stupid. But then I would try to apply Landmark technology to my situation and all I could come up with was that it is not wrong for another person who claims to be a doctor to lie about his experience, his training, his relationship with me, etc. And when I realized that his lack of knowledge of a particular supplement he gave me prevented him from seeing the trouble I was getting into as a result, I started blaming myself, ala Landmark, for taking it and not being responsible.
I've been corresponding with someone on Craigslist who says she's very depressed and has tried all there is to try (meaning drugs and therapy). I told her about other solutions and a bit about my experience of how a metabolic disorder was misdiagnosed as depression. I also told her how Landmark "diagnosed" my adverse reaction to the above supplement as attention-getting behavior, and I told her about Landmark. That email prevented her from going to a Landmark meeting by an LEC participant who also saw her initial email - a real ambulance chaser - and invited her to a meeting. They love to prey on the most vulnerable, yet criticize therapy throughout the Forum.
