This is an excerpt from "The Changing Images of Man", which is a Tavistock Book about how to manipulate people by changing the way they see themselves.
Here is what John Coleman says about this book:

...One of the most sinister of all SRI programs with the possibilities of doing tremendous damage in altering the direction in which the United States will go, socially, morally and religiously, was Stanford's Charles F. Kettering Foundation's "CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN" under Stanford official reference "Contract Number URH (489)-2150 Policy Research Report Number 4/4/74, Prepared by the SRI Center for the Study of Social Policy, Director Willis Harmon." This is probably one of the most far-reaching investigations into how man might be changed that has ever been conducted.

The report, covering 319 pages, was written by 14 new-science scientists under the supervision of Tavistock and 23 top controllers including B. F. Skinner, Margaret Meade, Ervin Lazlo and Sir Geoffrey Vickers, a high-level British intelligence-officer in MI6. It will be recalled that his son-in-law, Sir Peter Vickers-Hall, was a founding-member of the so-called conservative "Heritage Foundation." Much of the 3000 pages of "recommendations" given to the Reagan administration in January 1981 were based upon material taken from Willis Harmon's "CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN."

I was privileged to receive a copy of "THE CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN" from my intelligence-colleagues five days after it was accepted by the United States government. What I read shocked me, as I realized I was looking at a blueprint for a future America, unlike anything I had ever seen before. The nation was to be programmed to change and become so accustomed to such planned-changes that it would hardly be noticeable when profound changes did occur. We have gone downhill so fast since "THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY" (the book title of Willis Harmon's technical paper) was written, that today, divorce draws no stigma, suicide is at an all time high and raises few eyebrows, social deviations from the norm and sexual aberrations, once unmentionable in decent circles, are now commonplace and excite no special protest.
...
"This will happen in the United States as the economy worsens. This (demoralizing-process) is necessary to make people accept difficult choices. If there is no planning for the future, or if constituencies block progress, there will be social-chaos on a scale which is currently hard to imagine. The outlook for urban America is bleak. There is a possibility of doing something with the inner-cities, but basically the cities will shrink and the manufacturing base will decline. This will produce social convulsions."

Was Sir Peter a psychic, a magician of great report or merely a charlatan fortune-teller with a great deal of luck? The answer is "none of these." All Sir Peter was doing was reading off the blueprint of the Committee of 300-Club of Rome for slow death of the United States as a former industrial giant. Looking back over the ten years of Sir Peter's predictions, can anybody doubt that the Committee of 300's plans for the demise of an industrialized United States has become a fait accompli?

Haven't Sir Peter's predictions proved to be remarkably accurate? Indeed they have, almost down to the last word. It is worth noting that Sir Peter Vickers (Sir Peter Vickers-Hall's father-in-law) worked on the Stanford Research paper, "Changing Images of Man," from which much of the 3000 pages of material-advice sent to the Reagan Administration was taken. Moreover, as a senior MI6 British intelligence officer, Sir Peter Vickers was in a position to give Heritage a great deal of advance-information.
