Denise Winn - The Manipulated Mind; Brainwashing, Conditioning and Indoctrination (1984).pdf - Naukowe - dr_vanini

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 com-

pletely 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

unrealised 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.
