Abstract
- The article focuses on the aspects of the psychology of brainwashing. It relates on the book "Battle for the Mind: A Physiology of Conversion and Brain-Washing," by psychiatrist William Sargant, who used the theories of physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov to explain not only extorted confessions and political brainwashing but also religious conversions. Moreover, the study by doctors Lawrence E. Hinkle and Harold G. Wolff of prisoners from China and Eastern Europe is mentioned.
