Brainwashing is the process of having the original thoughts
and beliefs altered to fit the thoughts and beliefs of someone else.
Brainwashing is also referred to as mind control. This is generally done in
cults and prison camps where the one being brainwashed is kept isolated from
all they know. Although, some political, social and religious sectors also
perform forms of brainwashing.
There are organizations that are dedicated to protecting
people from brainwashing. People may not view mind control as a problem needing
entire organizations working toward protecting and reversing brainwashing.
The CAIC provides numerous resources about cults and other
organizations that perform mind control. They offer information about how
brainwashing occurs and the various techniques that are implemented. The CAIC
links to former cult members and allows them the chance to relay their story to
others, including how they were able to get out and deprogram their minds from
being brainwashed.
The ICSA is a an organization that reaches world-wide. The
people involved in the ICSA are concerned about and dedicated to eliminating
the brainwashing abuse in cults, alternative movements and other such areas
known for mind controlling or mind altering practices. They offer education to
those wanting to learn more about the effects of brainwashing. They also give
aid to those who have suffered from mind control and need to re-program their
minds to think independently again.
Free the
Children of God
FREECOG was the first organization to stand up against cults and brainwashing. Their initial goal was to help those who were following the Children of God and subsequently having their minds controlled by the doctrine being taught. The success of the FREECOG gave other organizations the ability to become more active in protecting people against brainwashing by educating them.

Frequently asked questions can be found at Cult FAQ, they offer information regarding
what cults are and they also offer counseling services for those who have been
brainwashed. They also explain that a cult is also known as a sect and can be
just as capable of mind controlling.
CESNUR is a group of scholars dedicated to educating about
the various cults that are considered to be dangerous in that they practice
mind control. CESNUR will also direct those wishing to leave a sect to the
right places and will offer aid in deprogramming the mind from the brainwashing
received while within the sect.
While it is still considered to be taboo to speak openly of
brainwashing, it is all around us. We are susceptible to persuasions and while
our minds are not totally controlled by the things around us, we are never left
untouched by the political speeches, church deacons, or news commentators.
Serious brainwashing occurs when a person's entire way of thinking is altered
by a person or organization. The affected person's mind is molded into what the
brain-washer wants it to be.
