Beschreibung
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 completely alien to his or her character? What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even of advertising and education? Research findings from psychology show that brainwashing is not a special subversive technique, but is the clever manipulation of unrealized influences that operate in all our lives. This book, by breaking down so-called brainwashing to its individual elements, shows how such factors as social conditioning, need for approval, emotional dependency and much else that we're unaware of prevent us from being as self-directed as we think we are - and, conversely, which human traits make us the least susceptible to subtle influence.
