The Possesed Mind
The Possesed Mind: A physiology of Possession, Mysticism and Faith Healing by William Sargant
A really amazing look at how the human mind can be manipulated by various circumstances. William Sargant worked with British war veterans who returned from the worst fronts of world war 2 and had been mentally and emotionally reduced to blank slates. By means of various techniques he was able to "undo" the damage and get them back to somewhat normal lives...Now, some of these techniques are pretty dated...like removing parts of the brain...but others like using ether and mescaline are still employed today when using drugs to address repressed experience.
So if you know what it takes to erase someones personality...what if you could erase their personality and implant foreign ideas and morals to their thoughts and then rebuild them back to normal? Say if you were an intelligence agency looking to make the perfect manchurian candidate who would have the desire and knowledge of killing a predetermined target but not recall how or why they learned this and acted upon this...William Sargant, that author of this book was one of the founders of MK-Ultra back when it was known as project bluebird. William Sargant worked with both British and American intelligence agencies in mind control programs.
