[edit] Death of James Slee
After the death of James Slee during an EST Seminar, Dr. Mantos released a public statement:
In San Francisco, est officials for the moment had little interest in taking credit for the man's death. Instead, they hastened to disclaim any responsibility for Slee's death that night in New Haven. A statement issued within days of the incident from Jack Mantos, est's director of research and a Harvard-trained medical doctor, insisted that the training had nothing to do with Slee's fatal collapse.
"In any large group of people, medical emergencies do arise from time to time and this appears to be one of those...Although medical authorities have not yet determined what caused Mr. Slee's death, it is evident that the est training couldnot have had anything to do with it."[2]
[edit] Werner Erhard and Associates
Mantos was president of Werner Erhard and Associates until his death in 1988 :
"From the beginning," explained the late Dr. Jack Mantos, president of WE&A until he suffered a fatal heart attack in February, at age 43, "the training was about achievement and performance and about the superstitions surrounding performance. It did not produce its result through psychological analysis or psychological methods."[3]
