List of Scientology Rundowns

This is an incomplete list of Rundowns in the Church of Scientology. Rundowns are a series of Scientology and/or Dianetics procedures designed to address a specific area in depth.

Clear Certainty Rundown
A procedure in which the state of Clear is "validated and rehabilitated". Usually a short action of only a few hours. This Rundown was introduced in 1985.

Drug Rundown
According to the Church, "Experiences the person had while taking drugs are the first to be addressed with these exact auditing steps, and the charge in the reactive mind which has accumulated around these incidents is in this way released. Attention that had been fixated by drugs, medicines and alcohol is freed, and the mental masses brought about by drugs are erased."

To complete the Church's Operating Thetan IV level, a Scientologist must apply the drug rundown to his or her body thetans.

Est Repair Rundown

A rundown designed for former members of Werner Erhard's organization, known as Erhard Seminars Training. The Church describes this rundown in the book What is Scientology? in this way:

"Some people formerly involved in the practices of a group called est (Erhard Seminars Training) have been found to need case repair. This rundown corrects any damage caused by est's practices, so that it does not hinder any spiritual progress in Dianetics and Scientology training."

False Purpose Rundown (FPRD)
This Rundown was first introduced in 1984
, although previously its principles were already in use in "Expanded Dianetics". This rundown is specifically designed to detect "evil purposes or evil intentions." The False Purpose Rundown, often referred as the FPRD, is available as a service in most Scientology organizations. It is also in use by the so-called Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), where Sea Org staff may be sent as an opportunity to redeem themselves, although it is considered by some a means of punishment. The person is audited for sometimes over a year, until the person is considered "free of evil intentions".

Some critics within the Church believe that this rundown has been falsified by David Miscavige and others, containing too many contradictions to have been written by Hubbard.

Introspection Rundown

This is a procedure that is intended to handle a psychotic break or complete mental breakdown. This rundown made worldwide headlines during the investigation of death at the Fort Harrison Hotel.

Livingness Repair Rundown
Also known as "Life Repair". According to What is Scientology? (1978 edition), "This is a brand new Rundown to be used by the Missions of the Church of Scientology in the handling of new public. This Rundown isolates and addresses the major area the individual has run up against in life that is causing him difficulty, and handles it through a specially formulated program exactly tailored to the individual's need."

Primary Rundown
The Primary Rundown "consists of word clearing and Study Tech. It makes a student Super-Literate." Involves clearing small words like "of", "at" , "so", etc.

PTS Rundown
The PTS ("") rundown is administered to Scientologists who have been designated PTS and must be assessed for Suppressive Person status. It is also for Scientologists (especially Sea Org members) who have fallen ill. It is a fundamental Scientology tenet that people with physical illnesses become PTS and "out-Ethics", meaning, bad for the Church.
:: "All sick persons are PTS." - Hubbard, HCOB 20 April 1972

:: "...all illness in greater or lesser degree and all foul-ups stem directly and only from a PTS condition." and "...getting rid of that condition requires three basic actions: A. Discover. B. Handle or disconnect." - Hubbard, HCOB 10 August 1973

Purification Rundown

The Purification Rundown is a detoxification program involving the use of saunas, vitamins, and consuming oils, far in excess of what mainstream medicine considers safe levels.

South African Rundown
In Hubbard's words, "This rundown is for delivery to South Africans — those who reside in South Africa as well as those who have emigrated to other parts of the world. The South African Rundown has two parts: a. PTS handling; b. Help Processes."

Hubbard found it necessary to specially develop this race-specific rundown - the only one of its kind in all of Scientology and Dianetics - because he felt "The South African native is probably the one impossible person to train in the entire world - he is probably impossible by any human standard."

Sunshine Rundown
Described as "a locational the person does on their own".

Super Power Rundown
Described in the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary as "a super fantastic, but confidential series of rundowns that can be done on anybody whether Dn Clear or not that puts the person into fantastic shape unleashing Super Power of a thetan. This means that puts Scientologists into a new realm of ability enabling them to create a new world." The Super Power Building is currently under construction in Clearwater, Florida for the specific purpose of administering this rundown.

Vital Information Rundown
Apparently a collection of vital personal information as the name states, as it includes an "Allergy/asthma Rundown" as part of itself.

Wants Handled Rundown
A rundown in which the preclear assesses what he wants to get rid of in his life. According to the Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary, "Handling of each thing the pc wants handled is dictated by what the "thing" (somatic, intention, terminal, condition, doingness) is."
