The Sleep Room by Jon Stock review – haunting accounts of horrific medical abuse
60% Informative
The Sleep Room: A Very British Medical Scandal is the subject of thriller writer Jon Stock’s first nonfiction book.
Sargant is one of the most notorious figures in British psychiatry.
He believed that a broken brain was no different to any other damaged organ or limb, and best fixed with aggressive physical treatment.
The most infamous part of his ward was a six -bedded area known as the Sleep Room.
Sargant's fascination with techniques for brainwashing led to speculation that he may have collaborated with the CIA ’s MKUltra programme into mind control.
At least five of his patients died during narcosis, which included deep vein thrombosis, pressure sores, infection and paralysis of the gut.
