"This kind of 'milieu control' can be brought about through coercion, but at its most successful it convinces individuals that they are acting autonomously β as is the case for the ex-POW Sergeant Raymond Shaw in The Manchurian Candidate. The result is that milieu control disrupts the 'balance between self and the outside world', resulting in 'a profound threat to [the individual's] personal autonomy'."
