Robert Lifton studied thought reform and brainwashing techniques used in China. He identified eight criteria that characterize totalist environments, including milieu control, mystic manipulation, demand for purity, confession, sacred science, loading the language, doctrine over person, and dispensing of existence. These criteria allow for manipulation and control over individuals in closed systems that cut them off from outside opinions.
