@TheWoleEffect Thanks for this - I'd love to write another one too!

"At their deaths, both men were lionized for their contributions to psychiatry. For decades afterward, those who served under them remained silent."

"In recent years, it has become fashionable among some historians to excuse the excesses of men like these as motivated by therapeutic zeal. I don’t agree."

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

Andrew Scull on The Sleep Room in @lareviewofbooks. "Powerful and well researched."

@GWRHelp No worries - the train was held in the end, so all good.

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@GWRHelp Please can you put in a request to hold the 14.36 Paddington to Paignton train at Newbury for the 15.22 connecting train to Bedwyn. Currently looking v tight as it was late to leave London. Thanks!

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@JaKephas Thanks for this. Dominic Streatfeild was incredibly helpful when I was writing my recent book, The Sleep Room (Little, Brown) about Sargant. I look in depth at Sargant's links with the UK intelligence services (proven) and the CIA (likely, but remains speculation).

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@JaKephas Sargant was ideologically opposed to the Tavistock (he had no time for Freud), and worked at the Maudsley pre-war under Mapother. (He was sent to Belmont, Sutton when war broke out.) In 1948, he was appointed Physician in Charge, dept of psychological medicine, at St Thomas'.

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@JaKephas For ref, William Sargant never worked at the Tavistock

@haveigotnews …how to add up.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, a series of decisions made in London by people who had never been to Palestine. The Balfour Declaration would lay the foundations for Israel, a triumph for the Jewish people, but a catastrophe for the indigenous Palestinians: 85% of Palestinians in the territory that became Israel were displaced in 1948, with about 700,000 to 750,000 people fleeing or being expelled from their homes, and many ending up on the sand dunes of Gaza where they remain under Israeli fire.

@GerryFoleyTV @MarlbLitFest @Tony_Robinson You did a great job, Gerry! Always shows when someone's done their research properly. A great evening. And I loved the stuff about how Rowan Atkinson made him feel so at home on Blackadder (and generously gave him so many great gags). Many thanks from everyone at @MarlbLitFest

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@johndrummond33 @jill_d35 Well said - Sargant did way more harm than good. Interestingly, he was always a polarising figure, something he himself acknowledged in 1977. "Some people think I'm a marvellous doctor, others think I'm the work of the devil."

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

@jill_d35 Couldn't agree more

[Jon Stock @JSThrillers]

Couldn't agree more - she's a survivor

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

My money's on Celia for The Traitors. Anyone who survived The House of Whipcord on screen and William Sargant's sleep room in real life has got to be a front-runner. https://t.co/MPBLB0xkq9

[James Simpkin @jw_simpkin]

A chilling book on psychiatrist Dr William Sargant, who used insulin induced comas and lobotomies to wipe peoples’ memories. He also advised the British Army, Mi5 and MKULTRA on the use of psychedelics to induce confessions. Having read Foucault, the Dr as priest motif is clear.
