Bain, Donald. The Control of Candy Jones. Chicago: Playboy Press, 1976.
267 pages.
This is a classic, one-of-a-kind study of the use of hypnotic
manipulation for intelligence purposes. Candy Jones was America's leading
cover girl during the forties and fifties. In 1960 she fell on hard times
and agreed to act as a courier for the CIA. She was also a perfect subject
for hypnosis. Without understanding what was happening, she began a 12-year
relationship with a CIA psychiatrist who used her to exhibit his mastery
of mind control techniques. He nurtured a second personality within Candy,
which he could trigger at will. The first personality could not recall later
what the second had been doing, as the second traveled to distant countries
on courier missions. Even under experimental torture, the CIA's secrets were
safe with this "Manchurian Candidate" courier.
In 1972, Candy married New York radio talk-show host Long John Nebel.
Concerned over her mood shifts and insomnia, Nebel, an amateur hypnotist,
tried to help her sleep. Over many sessions Candy's story emerged and the
second personality was exposed. Author Donald Bain, a friend of the couple,
compiled this book from more than 200 hours of taped sessions between Nebel
and Candy. Although this book is not fiction, unfortunately Bain does not
reveal the name of the CIA psychiatrist.
