Connection to scientology

Frank Gerbode was a scientologist prior to starting Metapsychology and took most of the scientology bridge, which he reworded, to create the MP curriculum. I wonder why that has not been added to this article. https://tonyortega.org/2013/04/13/the-saga-of-david-mayo-scientologys-banished-tech-wizard/ "JON: A small group of former high ranking Scientologists got together in Santa Barbara, in 1983, and set up their own alternative to the cult — the AAC. They included Mayo and his wife Julie, former Executive Director International John Nelson, and Harvey Haber, who had produced the tech films and paid St Martin’s Press to publish Battlefield Earth (the cult bought the first 40,000 copies and gave $250,000 for promotion). Bob Mithoff, brother of Mayo’s replacement, was also there from the start, but it turned out that he was there to spy on them for Scientology. It’s worth noting that even with a spy in their midst, the AAC failed to be shut down by Scientology, which says a lot for the AAC’s high standard of ethics. Eventually, it was the pressure of litigation that closed the place. Mayo had moved to the Institute for Research into Metapsychology, run by psychiatrist Frank Gerbode (the only psychiatrist in Scientology!)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurt L (talk • contribs) 23:49, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
