  • The Manipulated Mind
    Ever since American prisoners of war in Korea suddenly switched sides to the Communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse. Is it really possible to force any thinking person to act in a way com­ pletely alien to his character? What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even advertising and education? Research findings from psychology show that brainwashing is not a special subversive technique; it is the clever manipulation of unrealised influences that operate in all our lives. This book, by breaking down so-called brainwashing to its individual elements, shows how social conditioning, need for approval, emotional dependency and much else that we are unaware of, prevent us from being as self-directed as we think; and, conversely, which human traits make us the least susceptible to subtle influence.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF SELF-HYPNOSIS 119 FOREWORD All of us like to think that our actions and reactions are a result of logical thought processes, but the fact is that suggestion influences our thinking a great deal more than logic. Consciously or unconsciously, our feelings about almost everything are largely molded by ready-made opinions and attitudes fostered by our mass methods of communication. We cannot buy a bar of soap or a filtered cigarette without paying tribute to the impact of suggestion. Right or wrong, most of us place more confidence in what "they" say than we do in our own powers of reason. This is the basic reason why psychiatrists are in short supply.

    William J. Bryan photographed demonstrating a visual hypnotic technique. From Journal of the American Institute of Hypnosis, July 1962. 106 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/GREY_a_00052 by guest on 24 September 2021 Manchurian Candidates: Forensic Hypnosis in the Cold War ALISON WINTER In the winter of 1960–1961, Los Angeles newspapers were filled with the story of a young man who had committed a series of murders—acts that were apparently set in motion each time he saw a particular series of images. This was not Richard Condon’s famous character Raymond Shaw, whose fictional story was very much in the press. The protagonist was Henry Adolph Busch, a real LA serial killer. However, his defense—that his actions had been carried out in a trance created by the images he had seen—echoed plot elements of both The Manchurian Candidate and Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho . He claimed that the shower scene in Psycho had triggered each of his several killings. 1 Altered mental states continued to figure in the story after Busch was arrested, when his lawyer hired a prominent expert in “forensic hypnosis.” This technique trawled a witness’s mind for hitherto inaccessible records of the past in order to secure information either about a witness’s behavior or state of mind. From the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, forensic hypnosis grew from a little-known oddity into a fashionable extension of police work. At its peak, many police, lawyers, psy - chotherapists, witnesses, and defendants came to see hypnosis as a golden key to the past.

    American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis Copyright © 2010 by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis 53:2, October 2010 William E. Edmonston, Jr.: Editor, 1968-1976 John F. Kihlstrom University of California, Berkeley Edward J. Frischholz NorthShore University HealthSystem Skokie, IL. Abstract This article is part of an occasional series profiling editors of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis (AJCH). William E. Edmonston was the second editor, succeeding Milton H. Erickson. His research focused on the use of conditioning paradigms and psychophysiological measures to explore a wide variety of hypnotic phenomena, leading to a “neo- Pavlovian” theory of neutral hypnosis as physiological relaxation (anesis). A longtime professor of psychology at Colgate University, he created an interdisciplinary undergraduate major in neuroscience, and was named New York State College Professor of the Year in 1988. He gave the Journal a new look, and a greater balance of clinical and experimental papers. The article also provides background on George Barton Cutten, George H. Estabrooks, and Frank A. Pattie, pioneers of hypnosis who were linked to Edmonston. Address correspondences and reprint requests to: John F.
