title: Thought Manipulation: The Use and Abuse of Psychological Trickery
author:  Sapir Handelman 
description: "Where are the boundaries between manipulation, weakness, and free choice? Handelman, a fellow in peace and conflict resolution research at the University of Missouri, proposes that the phenomenon of manipulation can be used as a constructive tool, and outlines manipulative strategies used in politics, leadership, advertising, psychotherapy, and intimate relationships. To begin, the concept of manipulation is explained, and the challenges it presents to the open society are explored, with discussion of the characteristics and ethics of manipulation. Specific types of manipulation are then described, focusing on those that are designed to limit freedom of choice, in chapters on manipulation in advertising, politics, and leadership. The third part of the book looks at manipulations that are geared toward helping us discover new options and horizons, such as the manipulation found in therapy." - <strong>Reference &amp; Research Book News</strong>
