From, a BK victim's story here.
In a way, the entire modus operandi of the BKs might be a kind of gaslighting ... causing victims to question reality as we know it, allowing the BKs to replace it with their unreal, delusional world ... and completely control them, as they control the language and the every modifying ideas that BK victims use to understand and express themselves.
Limit the language, limit the ideas, limit the expression, limit the access of others influences ... and you completely control someone.
You don't need a prison to trap them, because the prison is in the victims' minds. Once they are properly cooked, you can even send them out like robots to repeat and carry out your will ... as well as finance you and carry out all your menial duties you don't care or have time for.
There's a lot of material to follow up on this topic and how it applies within BKism ... here's a pop psychology blog post (but from a PhD at Columbia University ... not a bogus fake one like the BKs') which is good enough to start with, including take one through the usual stages, the first of which is disbelief.
I think a *lot* of people get stung by disbelief when dealing with the BKs and BKism.
