Brainwashing:The Science of Thought Control -- Kathleen Taylor In Brainwashing, Kathleen Taylor brings together for the first time the worlds of neuroscience and social psychology to examine the way humans have attempted throughout 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. - ;The term 'brainwashing' was first recorded in 1950, but it is an expression of a much older concept: the forcible and full-scale alteration of a person's beliefs. Over the past 50 years the term has crept into popular culture, served as a topic for jokes, frightened the public in media headlines, and slandered innumerable people and institutions.
