The image of "brainwashing"

Abstract

Many social scientists have harbored fear that the techniques of analyzing human behavior might fall into the hands of unscrupulous but powerful individuals and organizations who would thereupon mold people as they pleased and rob individuals of their independence and identity. Here is a review article that examines at length some of the studies that have been made of brainwashing and their apparent implications. © 1962 by Princeton University Press.
