William Sargant

William Walters Sargant (April 24, 1907 - August 27, 1988), psychiatrist, Founder and Director of the Department of Psychological Medicine at St Thomas' Hospital in London, where he established a laboratory for mind control experiments. He was also a consultant to the MI5/MI6). William Sargant was a pioneer in methods of placing false memories into patients. He attested at the 1977 United States Senate hearing, "that the therapist should deliberately distort the facts of the patient's life-experience to achieve heightened emotional response and abreaction. In the drunken state of narcoanalysis patients are prone to accept the therapist's false constructions." In 1957 William Sargant published one of the first books on the psychology of mind control, ''Battle for the Mind''. == Quotes == "...Jesus Christ might simply have returned to his carpentry following the use of modern [psychiatric] treatments." - William Sargant == Book written by William Sargant == * ''Battle for the Mind'', by William Sargant, Malor Books, 1997, ISBN 1883536065 + * ''Mind Possessed, The : A Physiology of Possession, Mysticism, and Faith Healing'', 1975, ISBN 014004034X == References == * Wellcome Library - http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cats/20/2898.htm * 1977 U.S. Senate hearing on MKULTRA,
