This is an obvious logical fallacy.  Scientologists do oppose modern 
psychiatry, but this does not imply that all opponents of modern 
psychiatry are Scientologists.  In fact, consensus opinion among PhD 
holders in psychology is that the DSM is for the most part wrongheaded; 
the American Psychological Association has published several volumes 
collecting such criticism.
