A great film relating to this, in the 'avant garde' tradition,
is Yvonne Rainer's "Journeys From Berlin, 1971" it weaves in
several narratives relating to the Baader-Meinhof "Red Army
Faction" in West Germany (like the Weather Underground in the
US), their capture, and possible brainwashing to suicide,
Russian anarchism in the 19th century, personal relationships
and modern psychotherapy. One of the things it's about is the
relation between using institutionalized psychology as a tool of
social control.
It is one of my all time favorite films, and i never like to
lose an opportunity to plug it.
