This book was published in December 1951, and together with two of the other books published in 1951 it was a rather large format 21.5 cm x 27.5 cm. It was softcover, yellow, had a simple cover design and sold for $2.50. The cover pictured to the right is from the ninth edition, 1979. These three 1951 books (the others are a ''[[Child Dianetics]]'' and ''[[Self Analysis]]'') give an idea of the bridge over from Dianetics to modern Scientology.

In the book itself it states:<br />
: This volume of self processing is designed for use in any of four ways:<br />
: 1. As a workbook to be used wholly by the auditor on the pre-clear; or<br />
: 2. As a homework book to be given the pre-clear for use between sessions; or<br />
: 3. As a process done by the pre-clear himself with only occasional auditor help; or<br />
: 4. As a processing manual used wholly by the pre-clear without an auditor.<br />
and this is as true today as it was then, although we have a larger number of other possibilities.

Alterations were made later to the text, which are recorded [http://www.truelrh.com/5112_HFP/alter_HFP.html here]
