Wentworth

Carl Wentworth, leader of the movement.

The "Anti-Apologists Movement" was a so-called public campaign that promoted removal of one's guilty feelings.

History and specifics[]

As founded by psychiatrist Dr. Carl Wentworth, the idea of the movement was to root out aspect's of a person's belief system in which they felt they deserved punishment from past behaviors they considered misdeeds, crimes, or sins against others. Rather than harbor guilty feelings, Wentworth's treatment replaced them with enlightened self-interest. He treated patients at a clinic on the planet Andronicus, but his true purpose there was to study mental manipulation from archives left by an extinct civilization on the planet, and during his studies he descended into megalomania. Rather than leading a potentially constructive social movement, he chose to manipulate and control others. (TOS comic: "... Like a Woman Scorned!")
