| Abstract: | In the article "Your mind needs you!" published in the Psychologist journal, Simon McCarthy-Jones emphasizes the importance of psychologists in safeguarding the right to freedom of thought. He discusses how psychological techniques have been used to manipulate minds for profit and power, impacting consumer behavior and voting choices. The United Nations has recently revisited the right to freedom of thought, presenting an opportunity for psychologists to contribute to its development. Psychology can help define the scope of thought and identify violations, such as disruptions to attention and reasoning, that impede free thought. The legal protection of the human mind is a crucial area where psychologists can make a substantive contribution. [Extracted from the article] |
