I was reading about psychic driving which is a CIA and psychotherapy technique to change human behavior. What I wonder is what kind of messages did they play to them? The same ones over and over? Different ones mixed together?
what kind of things did they say? Seeing as how it was done by Dr. D. Ewen Cameron at a legitimate University under the guise of legitimate psychiatric research , I would imagine he would have released peer reviewed medical journals detailing his techniques, their effectiveness ect including what messages he played to them.
The information may be out there, but the Senate put the kibosh on that experiment (or at least the CIA’s funding of it), so it may have never developed to the point of peer reviewed publications.
Well, the Wikipedia page on “psychic driving” links to this, which is a listing of an article in a peer reviewed medical journal. To actually get to look at it, you will probably have to visit a university library.
I used my magical university library account to read that article online. As far as I can tell, that cite is completely bogus. I didn’t deeply analyze the article, but it never mentioned psychic driving by name, and nothing in the article described anything remotely similar. The procedure itself is all drugs and electroshock. At no point in the article does it mention anything resembling “theoretically psychic driving could then be used with some efficacy in establishing a new personality.”
It’s definitely possible I missed something, but if you want to learn more about psychic driving, that’s not the article to look at, because even if it mentions something, it’s in passing.
My understanding is that he was doing it for over 10 years, both before and after the CIA got involved, because it also have psychiatric potential. The idea was to erase the patients mental problems and then reprogram a new normal person. So I imagine at the time he probably did release peer reviewed publications. What I am particularity interested in is what kind of things were said on the tape they played, surely that information must be on a journal or document somewhere?
