Encyclopedia > Pride and ego down

Pride-and-ego down refers to humiliation techniques used by captors in interrogating prisoners to encourage cooperation, usually consisting of "attacking the source's sense of personal worth" and in an "attempt to redeem his pride, the source will usually involuntarily provide pertinent information in attempting to vindicate himself." [1] (http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/library/policy/army/fm/fm34-52/app-h.htm)


It has been used mostly in the context of United States military techniques which have been cited in the 2004 Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse.

FM 34-52 Appendix H (4411 words)
The decreased fear down approach is used primarily on a source who is already in a state of fear due to the horrible circumstances of his capture, or on a source who is in fear for his life.
A problem with the pride and ego approach techniques is that since both variations rely on trickery, the source will eventually realize that he has been tricked and may refuse to cooperate further.
One word of caution, the pride and ego down approach is also a dead end in that, if it is unsuccessful, it is very difficult for the interrogator to recover and move to another approach and reestablish a different type of rapport without losing all credibility.
