Talk:William Sargant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multiple inaccuracies abound in this article. Either delete it and start again, or edit extensively. Sargant was not a brainwasher, and his book on abreactive therapy had nothing to do with the implantation of false memories. The article must be changed to reflect that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.114.20.121 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Not disputed
Please read "Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control" by Dominic Streatfeild Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd (29 Jun 2006) Language English ISBN: 034092103X
According to this book, Sargant was very definitely a consultant to MI5. Stewart Cambridge 19:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Irmgard, I appreciate contributions to the William Sargant article. However, if you dispute contents, then please follow Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute instead of just changing things, deleting content and damaging wikilinks.--AI 20:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Founder and Director of the Department of Psychological Medicine
Clarified where he was expert. --Irmgard 09:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Redundancy is not clarification: Psychological Medicine.--AI 20:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] British Secret Intelligence Service
Moved here as no evidence for it. The fact that his literature has been used by the British Intelligence Service does not make him a consultant. --Irmgard 09:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Restored, please see references.--AI 20:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. Senate hearing
Put the quote from the senate hearing in correct context. --Irmgard 09:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- And at the same time you damaged the wikilinks. Sneaky vandalism? Reverted.--AI 20:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quote
Removed - this quote gives a derogatory impression, taken out of context --Irmgard 09:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- "...Jesus Christ might simply have returned to his carpentry following the use of modern [psychiatric] treatments." - William Sargant

- Restored. Regardless of the impression, there is no wikipedia policy to support your censorship. Please provide the context, that seems to be your only valid argument.--AI 20:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] See also
Edited the see also - removed not connected, added religious conversion which subject he did work on. --Irmgard 09:09, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] e-mail and Disptuted
We've had an email to Wikimedia questioning this article. I think it would be worth carefully reviewing the references and sources used, and ensuring that all facts here are correct. the particluar points in question are:
- were mind control experiments undertaken at at St Thomas'?
- was he a consultant to the British Intelligence Service?
- was he at the 1977 Senate hearing, or was it just that his book was referenced?
