The BRAINWASHED MIND The Dark Science of Mental Manipulation (Edition1st)
Are your thoughts truly your own? The Brainwashed Mind is a provocative exploration of the science and strategy behind mental manipulation. Dr. David Alan Binder peels back the curtain on how minds can be hijacked-by ideologies, institutions, technology, and even subtle interpersonal influence. From the chilling depths of cult indoctrination to the constant psychological priming of advertising and politics, this book reveals how power operates by shaping what we believe and how we think. But this is not a book of fear it is one of awareness. Binder provides readers with the tools to spot manipulation in all its forms, understand how emotional vulnerability is exploited, and reclaim mental independence in a world built to condition us. In an age of disinformation, media saturation, and increasingly invasive technology, The Brainwashed Mind is an urgent and empowering manifesto for cognitive freedom. It challenges readers to awaken, question, and protect the most sacred territory of all—their own minds.
Brainwashed
'A frankly brilliant book' - GUARDIAN 'An absorbing exploration ... Pick does not stumble' - TORTOISE 'An extraordinarily engrossing and wide-ranging analysis of a word and a concept. I fell under its spell immediately' - SIMON GARFIELD In 1953, a group of prisoners of war who had fought against the communist invasion of South Korea were released. They chose - apparently freely - to move to Mao's China. Among those refusing repatriation were twenty-one American GIs. Their decision sparked alarm in the West: why didn't they want to come home? What was going on? Soon, people were saying that the POWs' had been 'brainwashed'. Was this something new or a phenomenon that has been around for centu...

Misunderstanding Cults
Misunderstanding Cults provides a uniquely balanced contribution to what has become a highly polarized area of study. Working towards a moderate "third path" in the heated debate over new religious movements or cults, this collection includes contributions from both scholars who have been characterized as "anticult" and those characterized as "cult-apologists." The study incorporates multiple viewpoints as well as a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, with the stated goal of depolarizing the discussion over alternative religious movements. A prominent section within the book focuses explicitly on the issue of scholarly objectivity and the danger of partisanship in the stu...

The Rape of the Mind
Since 1933, when a completely drugged and trial-conditioned human wreck confessed to having started the Reichstag fire in Berlin, Dr. Joost A.M. Meerloo has studied the methods by which systematic mental pressure brings people to abject submission, and by which totalitarians imprint their subjective 'truth' on their victims' minds. Dr. Meerloo spent the first two and one-half years of WWII under the pressure of Nazi-occupied Holland, witnessing at first-hand the Nazi methods of mental torture on more than one occasion. Then, after personal experiences with enforced interrogation, he escaped from a Nazi prison and certain death to England, where he was able, as Chief of the Psychological Depa...
