 Pitirim Sorokin wrote in "The Ways and Power of Love" that though Winter wrote an enthusiastic introduction to Hubbard's "Dianetics", his own book exposed some of Hubbard's more "charlatanish" claims.The book was also reviewed in "The American Journal of Psychology" and "The American Journal of Psychiatry".In a review of the book in "Psychosomatic Medicine", Frank Egloff wrote that Winter did a "relatively good, factual job" and provided a "fairly clear, dispassionate view of dianetics".
