Part 7/14:
Farrell recounts stories of victims unwittingly dosed with LSD, subjected to sleep deprivation, or manipulated through psychological methods that intended to “reset” personalities or induce compliance. Notable is the case of psychic driving—a technique where subjects listen repeatedly to recorded messages, which often left them worse off than before.
He illustrates that many of these experiments had little to no positive outcome and often caused lasting psychological scars, raising profoundly troubling questions about the morality of such research.
