Battle for the Mind

This book delves into the psychological mechanisms behind indoctrination, brainwashing, and thought control. It explores how beliefs, whether true or false, can be forcibly implanted in the human brain, a process known as indoctrination. The author, a physician in psychological medicine, provides a detailed analysis of how people can be made to switch to beliefs completely opposed to those they previously held, through the science of brainwashing. The book includes fascinating photographs and describes the methods used by politicians, priests, psychiatrists, and police forces worldwide to achieve these ends. It covers topics such as experiments in animals, the use of drugs in psychotherapy, psycho-analysis, and religious conversion techniques.
