Mind Control

by Peter Schrag

This is a shocking account of all the methods being developed - and used – to control not only what we do but how we think and feel. This book reveals the ways in which lives – particularly those of the young, elderly, the institutionalized and the underprivileged – are controlled by such means as information collection, electronic surveillance, behavior modification and drugs. Schrag argues that a subtle, barely perceptible transformation has occurred in the relationship between the citizen, his employer, his doctor and the new technologies have made it possible to intervene in private lives as never before. He ‘At the heart of the change lies a transcendent faith that with the proper environment or the proper methods, any individual can be reshaped, reformed, or at the very least, controlled with psychological or chemical method.”
