Jump to: navigation, search

Brainwashing originally referred to using coercive methods such as torture and mind-altering drugs in order to gain extensive control over an individual's mind. Communists were accused of doing it to prisoners of war in Korea. More recently the usage has expanded, such as to claimed mind influencing methods used by cults, or even more widely as referring to systematic and highly effective mind influencing methods in general.
