Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Meerloo's best-known book is \u003cem\u003eRape of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 1956. The book received wide attention in part because it dealt with totalitarian applications of brainwashing techniques during the Korean War. \u003cem\u003eRape of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e explains how scientific brainwashing is done and argues that \"hardly anyone can resist such.\" \"Fear, and continual pressure are known to create a menticidal hypnosis. The conscious part of the personality no longer takes part in the automatic confessions. The brainwashee lives in a trance, repeating the record grooved into him by somebody else.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDelusion and Mass Delusion\u003c\/em\u003e, Meerloo attempts to explain the mechanisms within the mind that allow for such manipulation. He attempts an explanation of the several mechanisms undergirding thought, many of which are not obviously available to individuals. An interesting early study on brainwashing by an early student of the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 14, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45654793519206,"sku":"9781684226085","price":35.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/U24waXNxZnVPZmdpS3RpRFZCdVhlUT09.webp?v=1779573061","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/delusion-and-mass-delusion-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
