(From Book Three, Chapter Three, The Auditor’s Role)
The Auditor’s Code should never be violated. Practice in Dianetics has demonstrated that violation of the Auditor’s Code alone can interrupt cases.
The auditor should be courteous in his treatment of all preclears.
The auditor should be kind, not giving way to any indulgence of cruelty toward preclears, nor surrendering to any desire to punish.
The auditor should be quiet during therapy, not given to talk beyond the absolute essentials of Dianetics during an actual session.
The auditor should be trustworthy, keeping his word when given, keeping his appointments in schedules and his commitments to work and never giving forth any commitment of any kind which he has any slightest reason to believe he cannot keep.
The auditor should be courageous, never giving ground or violating the fundamentals of therapy because a preclear thinks he should.
The auditor should be patient in his working, never becoming restless or annoyed by the preclear, no matter what the preclear is doing or saying.
The auditor should be thorough, never permitting his plan of work to be swayed or a charge to be avoided.
The auditor should be persistent, never giving up until he has achieved results.
The auditor should be uncommunicative, never giving the patient any information whatsoever about his case, including evaluations of data or further estimates of time in therapy.
