In this lecture we investigate the phenomenon of brainwashing. We describe the 20th century British psychiatrist William Sargant’s ideas regarding how the victim of brainwashing is similar to the religious convert and the therapy patient who undergo ‘sudden conversions’. We finish the lecture by looking at how fear can be used as tool for ‘mass brainwashing’.
