EXPERT OPINIONS - THE PSYCHIATRIC IMPACT OF COERCIVE PERSUASION CP)
(DR. MARGARET THALER SINGER)
"THOUGHT REFORM IS THE SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND
SOCIAL INFLUENCE TECHNIQUES IN AN ORGANIZED, PROGRAMMATIC WAY WITHIN A
CONSTRUCTED AND MANAGED ENVIRONMENT."
"THOUGHT REFORM AND ITS SYNONYMS BRAINWASHING AND COERCIVE PERSUASION
WERE NOTED IN THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION’S DIAGNOSTIC AND
STATISTICAL MANUAL OF MENTAL DISORDERS (DSSM).
DSSM - III (1980)
DSSM - III REVISED (1987)
DSSM - IV (MAY 1994)
DSSM IV CITES THOUGHT REFORM AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO DISSOCIATIVE
DISORDER - NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
". . . ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE USE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTROL PROCESSES THAT DO NOT DEPEND ON PHYSICAL COERCION."
". . . PROGRAMS ARE SOPHISTICATED, SUBTLE, AND INSIDIOUS, CREATING A
PSYCHOLOGICAL BOND THAT IN MANY WAYS IS FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN
GUN-AT-THE-HEAD METHODS OF INFLUENCE."
". . . PROGRAM DOES NOT REQUIRE PHYSICAL CONFINEMENT."
"THE RECENT UPHOLDING OF THOUGHT REFORM IN DSM-IV, IS BUT ONE MORE PIECE
OF EVIDENCE THAT THIS ORCHESTRATED PROCESS OF Exploitive PSYCHOLOGICAL
MANIPULATION IS REAL AND RECOGNIZED WITHIN THE PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIC
FIELD."
"SUCH PROGRAMS CAN AND REGULARLY DO PRODUCE PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTIES."
". . . BY INDUCING EXTREME ANXIETY AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. "
". . .GOAL WAS TO HOLD THE SUBJECT AT THE POINT OF MAXIMUM STRESS
WITHOUT INDUCING PSYCHOSIS."
". . . POSE PSYCHOLOGICAL RISKS TO SUBJECTS BECAUSE OF THE
SOPHISTICATION OF THE INFLUENCE TACTICS EMPLOYED."
". . . TO DESTABILIZE A PERSON’S SENSE OF SELF AND TO INDUCE ANXIETY AND
EMOTIONAL DISTRESS."
". . . INCORPORATE THE INDUCTION OF COGNITIVE CONFUSION."
