KembaraXtra-Psychology – Brainwashing

Brainwashing describes the deliberate attempt to bring about profound changes in an individual’s beliefs, attitudes, or loyalties through intense psychological manipulation. Techniques associated with brainwashing include sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, hunger, physical discomfort, alternating intimidation and kindness, and persistent interrogation. The term gained prominence during the mid-20th century, particularly in discussions of ideological indoctrination. Although controversial and sometimes exaggerated in popular usage, the concept highlights the powerful effects that coercive environments can exert on cognition and belief systems.
