Captive Minds Hypnosis and Beyond Video

Unread post by David McCarthy »

National Film Board of Canada
Captive Minds Hypnosis and Beyond (1983)

How do cults hold on to their disciples? How do the Marines command such loyalty? Why do Jesuit priests submit to a lifetime of strict authority? This film explais how long-term conditioning takes place and shows that the indoctrination methods of disparate institutions are surprisingly similar. Recruits are isolated and worked to exhaustion. Confused and frightened, they readily submit to a leader, be it guru, fuhrer or sergeant. The film shows how the power of suggestion influences behavior. Hypnosis, for example, may lead to short-term change; other psychotherapies may alter behavior for an extended time.

Captive Minds reminds us that we are all vulnerable to psychological manipulation.
