Persuasion methods and brainwashing

Author: G. E. Browne Translation: Dr. Abdul Latif Al Khayyat Number of pages: 144 pages Publishing house: Dar Al-Huda Attacking a person's body and possessions is a great injustice, but attacking a person's mind is beyond any injustice. Many Western researchers believe that people form their opinions and beliefs under the mercy of media and the ominous methods used by dominant forces to influence the masses and groups. These researchers also see that brainwashing and similar means lead to real changes in many people's views and attitudes. There is no doubt that this book is considered old by contemporary standards, as it was originally published in 1963, and has been reprinted many times. What justifies its transfer to the Arab reader is that the book has proven its usefulness over these long years, having been printed many times without modification. Our library also needs such books. Knowing (how to address minds and emotions? and in what fields of influence?) is among the most important duties of the contemporary Muslim. And if he thinks that his good feelings are enough to keep him from following such research, he is a dreamer far from reality.
