In 1956, Dr. Joost Meerloo published  "The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and  Brainwashing." In this episode we summarize some of Meerloo's work on  the techniques of mind control used in wartime, in totalitarian  societies, and their use in propaganda today - and how we can be  prepared to counter the effects of propaganda in our own lives.
