Nice catch OP
Found a couple of stuffs on it
Biderman Report created by Dr. Alfred D. Biderman M.A., or to give it the full citation: Communist Coercive Methods For Eliciting Individual Compliance. Presented at a combined meeting of the Section on Neurology and Psychiatry with the New York Neurology Society at The New York Academy of Medicine, November 13, 1956 as part of a Panel Discussion on Communist Methods of Interrogation and Indoctrination. This report is based on work done under ARDC Project No. 7733, Task 77314, in support of the research and development program of the Air Force Personnel and Training Research Center, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
This is the primary report on communist brainwashing techniques used by the Chinese and North Koreans on captured American pilots and other military members to get false confessions and propaganda statements supporting the communists and against the UN Forces fighting them. It was, and to some extent still is, the core source for capture resistance training for the US Air Force and to some extent for the other services and has been since the late 1950’s. The techniques used in Korea worked to varying extents.
This is a Journeyman level tool for most purposes. An understanding of other tools, especially Operant Conditioning, should be attained before working with this tool at more than the basic levels. I have included the my layout of two charts from the report to simplify understanding of this tool. They are an addition to the original document which must be read in its entirety before using it except where it overlaps with other tools.

>DTIC ADA484038: Communist Attempts to Elicit False Confessions from Air Force Prisoners of War by Defense Technical Information Center
This journal article discusses the coercive methods used by Chinese Communists to extract false confessions from U.S. Air Force men who were captured during the Korean War. Specifically, the methods were meant to induce compliance -- to undermine the resistance of the prisoner. The article includes a chart showing an outline of these methods, classified into eight general types, some illustrations of the specific forms these methods take, and the author's judgment of the effect of each. The methods are as follows: isolation, monopolization of perception, induced debilitation or exhaustion, threats, occasional indulgences, demonstrating omnipotence and omniscience, degradation, and enforcing trivial demands. The kind of confession discussed consists of considerably more than the signing of a piece of paper which says On such and such a date I committed such and such a crime-signed John Jones. It consists of considerably more than making an equivalent oral statement in a court. These confession-extortion efforts involve the attempt to manipulate the individual so that he behaves over an extended period as if: (1) he actually committed certain concrete acts which he can describe with meticulous detail; (2) these acts were criminal, in the sense of being violations of the most fundamental standards of human decency; (3) these acts were not isolated transgressions but manifestations of a criminal pattern in his thought and action; (4) his crimes were part and parcel of a larger nefarious political conspiracy; (5) his criminal role was motivated by a self-seeking alignment with this political conspiracy, of which he was only a pawn; (6) he is now remorseful and repentant; and (7) his changed attitude is due to a new-found political conviction for which he is indebted to his patient captors.
And then they lose respect and kill you. (Thanks, by the way.)
Another comparison that came to mind after reading the above are the J6 prisoners. I’ve read them tell how they are going through this very process, although not in the same words. Almost makes you get the idea the current government is communist.
