The Rape of the Mind

The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing

Joost Abraham Maurits Meerloo

Uncover the unsettling methods used by totalitarian regimes to manipulate and control the human mind. Dr. Joost A. M. Meerloo's extensive research, including first-hand experiences of Nazi-occupied Holland and post-war cases of brainwashing, exposes the tactics used to break down individuals into subservient and compliant subjects. This thought-provoking analysis goes beyond the military implications of mental pressure and highlights the subtle ways in which our own culture is pressurizing our minds. The Rape of the Mind is a must-read for anyone interested in the dangers of mass submission and the importance of preserving individual freedom.
