"The Rape of the Mind" by Joost Abraham Maurits Meerloo is a seminal work exploring the psychology of thought control, brainwashing, and mental coercion. Drawing from personal experiences during Nazi occupation and Cold War era interrogations, Meerloo examines how systematic mental pressure can break individuals down to absolute submission.
The book details various techniques used by totalitarian regimes, such as Pavlovian conditioning, drugs, psychological torture, and manipulation that erodes a person's independent thought and willpower. Meerloo coined the term menticide, describing it as the killing of the spirit through these coercive mental tactics.
Through case studies like American prisoners of war in Korea and Nazi victims, he reveals that while resistance to brainwashing varies, no one can hold out indefinitely. The book also discusses ethical and practical considerations in preparing individuals to resist such mental assaults.
