POPSYou Have Used Me As A Fish Long Enough In this episode, the history of brainwashing and mind control are examined. The angle pursued by Curtis was the way in which psychiatry pursued tabula rasa theories of the mind, initially in order to set people free from traumatic memories and then later as a potential instrument of social control. The work of Ewen Cameron was surveyed, with particular reference to Cold War theories of communist brainwashing and the search for hypnoprogammed assassins. The programme’s thesis was that the search for control over the past via medical intervention had had to be abandoned and that in modern times control over the past is more effectively exercised by the manipulation of history. Some film from this episode, an interview with one of Cameron’s victims, was later re-used by Curtis in his The Century of the Self.

POPSHistory Channel: Cults - Dangerous Devotion This programme looks into the histories and origins of various cults, asking what cults are and where they come from. We also ask why cult leaders continue to hold sway in modern society, and why ‘ordinary’ people often regard cults with a mixture of repugnance and fear. We also ask where society draws the dividing line between a dangerous, manipulative community and a healthy, legitimate movement. This program will pry open a window into a secretive and controversial world of faith, sacrifice, exploitation… and sometimes terror.
