(Note: This
tactic is still in "outline" phase. More to come on this subject.)
Technique: Create
dissonance and then offer the solution for dissonance reduction. Intentionally
arouse feelings of dissonance (by threatening self-esteem, making the person
feel guilty or arouse feelings of shame or inadequacy or by making the
person look like a hypocrite or someone who does not honor his or her word).
Then offer the solution to reduce the dissonance - i.e. through compliance
with your viewpoint to reduce or eliminate the guilt, shame, inadequacy,
fear, hypocrisy and/or dishonor. (See "Instill Fear" and "Reveal the Hypocrite")
