Stages of Programming/Brainwashing<br />

We have been able to uncover eight stages in most cases of programming<br />

and brainwashing. The eight stages are listed here and more<br />

fully explained below.<br />

1. Ideational or ideological components (choosing a thematic focus).<br />

2. Rationalizing the ideas and/or techniques.<br />

3. Using mood-induction techniques and facilitate distorted views<br />

of target parent.<br />

4. Using sympathy-creating techniques (brainwashing).<br />

5. Gaining compliance with parent’s own belief system and desires.<br />

6. Testing effectiveness (feedback assessment by programmer/<br />

brainwasher).<br />

7. Measuring loyalty.<br />

8. Escalating/intensifying/broadening/generalizing<br />

9. Maintenance (including continuation and/or modification of<br />

particular themes/brainwashing techniques).
