I think you're referring to aversion therapy.

This was quite popular back in the 1950s: for example to "treat" homosexuality, which was defined as a mental illness back then. The person being treated would be shown pictures of something they liked, e.g. a gorgeous guy, or perhaps a couple engaging in homosexual acts, and woudl be simultaneously subjected to an electric shock. The idea was that the person being treated would associate homosexuality with unpleasantness, and so lose the desire to be homosexual. By and large the treatment was unsuccessful, which is why it has largely been abandoned.

Under other circumstances, what being strapped down & forced to watch a video is called would depend upon the exact phraseology used in your jurisdiction. Here, I believe it's called "unlawfully depriving a person of their liberty."

Answer 4

In the book and movie adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, Alex was subjected to the Ludovico Technique, a fictional treatment which is similar to aversion therapy. Another popular example of this conditioning is Pavlov's experiment with his dog.

Answer 5

I think what you may be referring to is "classical conditioning" (as in Clockwork Orange) which is where he was strapped to a chair, forced to watch a video and injected with something to make him sick thus associating the violence (on the videos) with being physically ill. It was done to condition him to be come ill at the thought of violence and thus deter him.

As for if this applies to "Lost", I am not sure...I don't watch it.

Answer 6

i've got considered it approximately one hundred situations. Stanley Kubrick is a genius. In a ill and twisted style of way. yet all of his video clips are super. A Clockwork Orange is on my suitable 10 action picture checklist.

Answer 7

I don't know about strapped down....but I bet the video would contain at least a few episodes of The View.

Answer 8

Actually spaeking these kind of actitivites come under black magic. If you take the hindu mythology, one of the vedas (adarvana veda) talks about this.
Voodoo, pilli and suniyam are some of these types through which you can use negetive energy or power to deprive, harm and control others from something. Like you said you can force one to watch video, make him away from eating food etc.

Brainwashing

Answer 10

Yeah, I'd also say conditioning. But arent we being conditioned everyday by the media to sit infront of something - being tv or computers and forced to pay attention to it?

Answer 11

i believe the goal of the doctor who strapped the guy down, was to "Condition" him; they wanted to get his mind so used to the images that he would be unresponsive to it, and in theory it would not be a pleasing to the guys mind, they also made him listen to classical music while wating futher conditioning the man to respond to the music through sequence of related experinces....
I guess my answer is
Mental Conditioning was the intended goal... so the proccess could be called Conditioning, but the actual forced aspect would be a kind of "coercion" in action... where becasue of his crimes he has to pay by some sort of punishment, therefore making him, not a hostage because of a social contract made by constituants to a government to obay law or else punishment can be used by governments... this was in action when he was being punished by being forced to watch these videos....
PS violation of freedom??? hummm ... define freedom... other than "being able to do whatever i want..." if that is your answer, while you are right that is PURE freedom, that kind of freedom would lead to anarchy... seeing as i would be able to steel from you or worse... anyone could... i would say freedom is...
"the absences of coercion of men by men..." but in order to inforce this there has to be a facility that monopolizes in coercion , so that acording to a social contract, that body or goverment would use this coercion in order to protect the freedom of its individual constituants...
