As mentioned elsewhere here, there was pamphleteering and harassment from certain "religious" groups against DS back in the 1960s. It just wasn't given the kind of press it would be given today. Back then, the media took the line that anyone in those churches was a kook and nobody cared.
Supposedly, Dr Joyce Brothers went on a talk show and claimed that DS promoted "alienation," whatever the hell THAT means.
It was quite a decade...
