Description
Modern Madness - Social MK Ultra
Book Summary
In a society that multiplies mental illnesses and constantly redefines identity, an unsettling question arises: are we going crazy, or are we being driven crazy? Rafael Palacios, known as Rafapal, addresses individual madness for the first time through the dementia projected by the media and generated by political power. Inspired by the famous MK Ultra Project, the author integrates social manipulation into individual therapeutic psychology, dismantling the basic concepts upon which official psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry are founded. A work that invites us to question sanity in a supposedly sick world.
What is it about?
Starting from the famous quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti—"it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"—the book analyzes contemporary phenomena such as men living with inflatable dolls, women marrying themselves, the proliferation of new human genders that disappear as quickly as they appear, and the annual increase in mental disorders. The work proposes that these manifestations are not simple individual pathologies, but symptoms of dementia induced by political and media power, along the lines of the controversial MK Ultra mind control project. Through a new perspective, it dismantles the foundations of official psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry, offering a critical reading of modern madness as a social and therapeutic phenomenon.

Editorial review
A provocative and necessary work for those who suspect that the increasing mental instability of our time is not accidental. Rafapal offers a rigorous analysis that connects clinical psychology with the critique of power, dismantling official narratives and proposing an alternative reading of madness. Although it may be controversial for readers attached to traditional paradigms, his approach is especially valuable for understanding the relationship between mental health and the mechanisms of social control in the contemporary era.
