There is a difference between brainwashing and therapy where
the therapist is mostly a listener, but you wouldn't understand
because you are too afraid of being brainwashed, right?  Or you
are afraid to discover that your head is actually all screwed up?

One of the major "bugs" in the human brain is that it does too
well at grouping things together. Things that are mostly unrelated.

When the rapist come to the therapy group he usually starts by
telling how bad a person they are, which the shrink of course stops,
and the rapist is told to tell about their real self, how they grew
up etc.  The therapist has to sympathise with the rapist.  An
important component in the therapy is for the rapists to think about
their own sexuality, and talk about whatever good experiences they
have had.  If you think a repeated rapist should be shot instead of
having his worldview corrected and getting a chance to have a happy
family life then I don't really think you care much about the issue
anway?
