ABSTRACT
The emotions can be influenced by the use of drugs or surgery. For example, a patient is referred to a psychiatrist because he is afraid of being in confined spaces. This has been a serious nuisance to him, affecting both his home life and his professional life. All the foregoing can perhaps be contrasted with what is supposed to happen during the process of psychoanalysis. Indoctrination has more in common with education than does conditioning; for in this case the victim actually does learn something, though what he learns may be false or may be a distorted or partial version of the truth. It is very difficult to give an adequate definition of indoctrination, but roughly speaking it is a process by which someone is led to hold a belief which is not based upon his adequate knowledge or understanding of the fact upon which such a belief should rest.
