Could this be category:pseudoscience as I'm sure there are plenty of connections, certainly it could go with conspiracy theories. ArmondikoVsshole 10:04, 7 November 2008 (EST)

It is certainly possible to influence the personality of people, and quite a lot of governments and religions did or do this. The line between propaganda and brainwashing is very thin, and as such hard to see. 94.215.59.254 10:33, 7 November 2008 (EST)
Definitely worth thinking about that and adding it in, it's a little stubby as it is. ArmondikoVsshole 10:40, 7 November 2008 (EST)

deprogramming[edit]

I think the para that I added about deprogramming gives new info and has added value. Andries (talk) 06:21, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Now we have opposing assertions from you and Human; let the arguments commence. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 06:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

blame shifting para[edit]

So why was this para removed? I think it gives a good explanation why the theory is attractive and persists. Even if there is no evidence to support it, there is reason to expect it to persist. Andries (talk) 11:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

What do Abusive friends & loved ones, Cults, and Totalitarian governments have in common?[edit]

They all involve some form of brainwashing. This should be a HIGH priority article or at least a MID priority article. I don't know enough about the coding of this website and the subject itself but if someone could please help this article with me I would be very pleased.--Jakester499 (talk) 01:40, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
