In the Korean War, brainwashing techniques were used by the Chinese on American
POWs and Lifton studied those who returned from this experience. He recorded the
brainwashing process, which includes three stages: Breaking down the self,
introducing the possibility of salvation, and rebuilding the self. It is a detailed, ten
point process to progress through the stages.
