It is crucial for a person to keep his identity intact at all times, especially in times of trouble. However, those in power often seek to make those subservient to them lose their sense of identity. For instance, “white torture” is a type of psychological torture used that includes extreme sensory deprivation and isolation, making the detainee lose their personal identity through long periods of isolation.
