The intent was to break down the subject's personality—theoretically psychic driving could then be used with some efficacy in establishing a new personality.[1] In Cameron's depatterning, the ECT would often continue to be administered despite the manifestation of convulsive fits, which were consensually considered to be contraindications to normal and safe ECT procedure. Such biologically and psychologically devastating procedures, adopted internationally by the psychiatric establishment, were largely abolished by the time the CIA was brought before a Senate Hearing (1977)[2] for its involvement and funding of Cameron's experimental activities—as part of the MKULTRA program.[3] The topic of Cameron's psychic driving is dealt with in some detail in the docudrama entitled The Sleep Room (1998) directed by Anne Wheeler.[4] Dulles ordered Bluebird to be expanded and centralized, and renamed the Project Artichoke. Dulles and Gottlieb both believed there was a way to influence and control the human mind that could lead to global mastery.
