Title
Psychiatry and the CIA: Victims of Mind Control
Abstract
From 1957 to 1961, the U.S.-based Central Intelligence Agency funded a project carried out by Dr. Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University into brainwashing. Psychiatric patients at the Institute, without their knowledge or consent, were subjected to a series of procedures that included experimental drugs, intensive shock treatments, sensory deprivation, forced sleep for weeks on end, and the use of recorded voices for hours at a time in order to bring about behaviour change. One of these unwitting patients was the author's father.
