Description
Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brain-washing
This book explores the techniques used by individuals and groups to influence and control others' thoughts and behaviour. William Sargant, a leading physician in psychological medicine, examines the methods used by evangelists, psychiatrists, and brainwashers to alter patterns of belief and behaviour.
Through a detailed analysis of these techniques, Sargant sheds light on the psychological processes involved in conversion, brain-washing, and the manipulation of human behaviour.
