Joost A. M. Meerloo, M.D
(from: Thomas Merton's Correspondence with: Meerloo, Joost Abraham Maurits, 1903-1976)
Dr. Joost A.M. Meerloo was a Dutch-born psychoanalyst specializing in the area of thought control techniques used by totalitarian regimes.
Most of his family were killed by the Nazis, but he escaped to England in 1942 from a Nazi prison in the Netherlands. In 1946, he emigrated to the United States and took residence in New York City where he continued to write books and continued his practice as a psychoanalyst.
He coined the term "mentacide", the killing of the mind as employed in brain-washing techniques...
His books include Homo Militans, The Psychology of War and Peace in Man, Delusion and Mass Delusion, and The Rape of the Mind. (Source: "Meerloo, Joost A. M." Current Biography. 1962.
