  • "Throughout history, humans have attempted to influence and control the thoughts of others. Since the word 'brainwashing' was coined in the aftermath of the Korean War, it has become part of the popular culture, served as a topic for jokes, and been exploited to create sensational headlines. It has also been the subject of learned discussion from many disciplines: including history, sociology, psychology, and psychotherapy. But until now, a crucial part of the debate has been missing: that of any serious reference to the science of the human brain. Descriptions of how opinions can be changed, whether by persuasion, deceit, or force, have been almost entirely psychological. In "Brainwashing", Kathleen Taylor brings the worlds of neuroscience and social psychology together for the first time."
  • ""In Brainwashing, Kathleen Taylor brings together for the first time the worlds of neuroscience and social psychology to examine why humans have attempted througout history to influence and control the thoughts of others. The technical term for this process, brainwashing, was coined shortly after the Korean War, but the concept has been with us ever since humans began to interact with one another. In this compelling and thought-provoking book, Taylor explores the history and the science of thought-control and shows how it still exists all around us, from marketing and television to politics and education." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0620/2004276202-d.html."
