Description: Ever since
American prisoners of war in Korea suddenly switched sides to the Communist
cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse.
Is it really
possible to force any thinking person to act in a way completely alien to his
character? What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally
insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even advertising and
education?
Research
findings from psychology show that brainwashing is not a special subversive
technique; it is the clever manipulation of unrealized influences that operate
in all our lives.
This book, by
breaking down so-called brainwashing to its individual elements, shows how
social conditioning, need for approval, emotional dependency and much else that
we are unaware of, prevent us from being as self-directed as we think; and,
conversely, which human traits make us the least susceptible to subtle
influence.
