Doctor Who has enough incidences of Mind Rape to warrant its own page.
The Doctor getting mind-raped:
- "The Web of Fear" has it almost happen to the Doctor. The Intelligence's plan is to draw all of the Doctor's memories from his brain, leaving him an empty shell. There's even some discussion that if he gets his mind wiped, Jamie has to promise to look after him until he learns to walk and talk again. Jamie saves him, spoiling the Doctor's plan.
- "The Krotons": The Doctor and Zoe get this when they start using their minds to power their machines. This is represented in a fairly disturbing and abstract sequence of the two of them moaning in pain through a fisheye lens.
- "The Mind of Evil": The Master does this to the Doctor with the Keller Machine by strapping him into a chair, putting a "telepathic amplifier" in his ear and forcing the Doctor to experience his own darkest Phobias at the hand of the Machine (apparently monsters and fire). The torture is cut far shorter when the Machine begins affecting everyone in the vicinity and the Master pulls the plug, but the Master points out to the Doctor that it was so bad that one of his hearts had "stopped completely". The Doctor is barely functional for several scenes afterwards.
- "Pyramids of Mars": The Fourth Doctor gets subjected to this by Sutekh. The Doctor is clearly in excruciating pain trying to resist, and yet he forces the Doctor to kneel before him, worship him and "debase himself" without even moving in his seat. What's more, Sutekh is clearly doing it for sport, thoroughly enjoying hurting and humiliating him, and was going to "shred his mind" before realising he could take the Doctor's TARDIS key instead. One of the more scary and disturbing moments from the show's most scary and disturbing period.
- "The Brain of Morbius": The Fourth Doctor gets subjected to this by Morbius in a "mind-bending contest" that goes awry, when Morbius starts digging through his private and painful memories.
- "The Deadly Assassin": The Fourth Doctor simultaneously commits and is subjected to one when he ends up heading into a Cyberspace based on Goth's mind in order to assassinate him. Obviously he's invading Goth's mind, but Goth is also subjecting him to both psychological and physical (mental) torture.
- "The Invisible Enemy": The Fourth Doctor gets this again in a Squickily literal form. A space parasite lays eggs in his brain, and the Hive Queen can control his behaviour through them.
- "Resurrection of the Daleks" has the Fifth Doctor being mind-raped with his own memories. It doesn't help that his painful screams sound disturbingly sexual, if you read too much into it.
- "42" has the Tenth Doctor being possessed by an angry, living sun. He spends a large chunk of the episode blind (having to keep his eyes shut to prevent the sun from burning people alive) and screaming in agony as the thing tries to take over his mind, nearly driving him insane. It even succeeds briefly, before Martha saves the day. When they re-enter the TARDIS to go to their next destination, Martha finds Ten staring into space with a horrified look on his face.
- "Midnight": The Doctor is unable to move, even when in the midst of being murdered, being forced to urge on the people dragging him to his doom. It's not exactly clear what the experience is like to Ten, but the way he acts once he's freed of the thing's influence paints a pretty clear picture.The Doctor: [whispers] It's gone. It's gone. It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone. It's gone.
- "The Rings of Akhaten": The Eleventh Doctor gets mind-raped by the Old God. While technically the Doctor told Grandfather to feed off of his memories, stories and feelings, the fact that it was either do that or allow Grandfather to kill millions really means the Doctor wasn't capable of giving wilful consent.
- "Hell Bent": The Doctor intends to remove Clara Oswald's memories of him from her mind with a special device so she will not be targeted by his enemies after he defies the laws of time and space to save her from the moment of her death, preserving her in a conscious but not quite alive state. But she overhears the plan and insists she has a right to her memories; moreover she tampers with the device so it will backfire on him. When they agree to activate it together and see which one's affected, his memories of her are the ones lost, and it's very painful for him (although he had earlier claimed the process would be painless for Clara). The episode's Framing Device reveals he can recall the adventures he had with her but not specific details of her — and he cannot recognize her on sight. But he sees it as just punishment for becoming The Unfettered to selfishly keep her alive, and since she meant too much to him and vice versa, this is the only way both of them can move on (Clara travels the universe on her own before returning to her death) and be their best selves for others.
The Doctor mind-raping other people:
- The Fourth Doctor putting Sarah Jane into a trance, in the middle of her screaming in protest, by forcing her to gaze into his Hypnotic Eyes.
- "The End of the World": Without making a explicit comparison to assault, Rose Tyler points out that the TARDIS Translator Microbes were messing with her head and the Doctor hadn't asked permission. It should be noted that the series establishes that everyone who travels aboard her — at least regularly — is subject to this, with the Fourth Doctor decades earlier referring to it as a gift. Rose is the only character thus far to protest; an episode of the spin-off series Torchwood later confirms that travelling in the TARDIS permanently alters a person's genetic make-up to the point where it can be detected by technology.
- "Journey's End": The Doctor himself performs what is startlingly similar to a Mind Rape on Donna Noble to remove the Time Lord knowledge from her brain before it killed her. Unusually for the trope, this may have been justified by the fact that the mental invasion was necessary to save the target's life. The target was aware of this and nevertheless pleaded with the Doctor not to do it. Contrast with "The Girl in the Fireplace", where he basically does a consensual version with Madame de Pompadour who also goes through his mind, for which there is some other subtext; or "The Shakespeare Code", where he gives an Elizabethan mental patient a nice soothing Mind Hug.
- "Amy's Choice" has to be the Mind Rape episode of the first Matt Smith season. In a scenario cooked up by the Doctor's own mind, Amy has to cope with the destruction of her happily married life and Rory's death. Then she gets the fun choice of figuring out which of two crapsack realities is real. The kicker? Neither of them are.
- "A Christmas Carol": The Doctor alters Kazran's past while using a video feed to show it happening to his future self. This leads to Kazran being pretty seriously messed up by the episode's halfway point, since he remembers both versions of his life up to that point, while being all too keenly aware that one version was manufactured by someone who was attempting to "rewrite" his personality.
- "Hell Bent": As noted above, this is supposed to be Clara's fate, in a call back to Donna's (again it's only memories of the Doctor that are to be lost, and without mentioning Donna by name the Doctor references having done it before), but she tampers with the device that will do it, tells the Doctor she won't stand for it, and the Doctor ends up affected instead when they decide activate the device together accepting the 50-50 chance that one of them would be wiped. It's worth noting that the original shooting script for the episode — published online by the BBC after broadcast — had Clara being much more upset about the prospect, to the point where (somewhat contradicting the loving state their relationship had progressed to over the past season) she originally intends to not tell the Doctor that she tampered with the device and was going to trick him into wiping his own memories. Some elements of this remain in the final episode, but the deletion of a few lines of dialogue removes the implication of subterfuge.
- "Spyfall:" At the end of the two-parter, the Doctor wipes the memories of Ada Lovelace so that she won't remember the Doctor herself or the future events she'd witnessed, despite Ada begging her not to.
- "The Haunting of Villa Diodati:" to force the Cyberium to leave Percy Shelley's body, the Doctor gives the poet a memory from the future of his own death by drowning. It works, and it stops Shelley from dying and the villain getting a doomsday device. However, notably, the Doctor doesn't wipe his memory of this afterwards, like she did with Lovelace.
Others:
- "The Sensorites" deals with a ship of humans that has been imprisoned in orbit around the Sensorites' planet, while the Sensorites torture them with telepathy whenever they feel like it for unclear reasons. Most humans aboard the ship are worn-down and stressed out from the abuse, but one in particular is mostly nonfunctional as a result of being constantly dripfed psychic terror for months, his hair has gone white from stress and his fiancée mourns his old personality as if he was dead. The Doctor is not pleased. He eventually persuades the Sensorites to restore his mind, but they note that even after the treatment he'll bear permanent psychological scars.
- "The War Machines": Dodo gets hypnotised by WOTAN, necessitating the First Doctor to hypnotise her back to normal. Since Dodo quits afterwards, only giving a second-hand goodbye through Ben and Polly, some fans speculate (especially in light of the scene that went on between the Tenth Doctor and Donna) that the Doctor actually wiped her memory, or else influenced her to leave for her own perceived safety.
- "The Sontaran Experiment": Styre captures Sarah and tortures her by making her hallucinate a snake crawling up her leg. (The subtext to that is fairly obvious, right?) The Doctor absolutely loses it when he finds out what Styre did to her, diving at him with every intention of murdering him on the spot even though the Doctor is unarmed and Styre is a solidly-built warrior-race alien in heavy armour. He even actually growls at Styre.
- "Shada": The first victims of Skagra's device — most victims are simply killed, but the first six people were left alive and so nonfunctional by the experience that they are unable to talk or care for themselves. The Doctor is eventually able to communicate with Akrotiri, one of the victims, by connecting Chris's brain to his — and Akrotiri's brain is so wrecked that the experience is excruciatingly painful for Chris (defying this trope, the Doctor tells Chris that this might happen and gets his consent first).
- "Kinda": Tegan's encounter with the Mara has been compared to a rape scene. Remember that Doctor Who is a family programme (and at the time "Kinda" aired, it was explicitly considered a children's show by the BBC).
- "Mindwarp": Peri is subjected to one by Sil, in a very traumatic and disturbing way with a lot of blatant rape subtext. It includes a Traumatic Haircut and she's considered technically dead after it.
- "Planet of the Ood": What the poor Ood go through when they're lobotomized and separated from their Hive Mind. They become empty shells who find Happiness in Slavery and have no personality of their own.
- Much of "Midnight" fits this trope, although the episode never shows what the alien does to its victim's head. One character's physical reactions after the whole thing is over don't exactly do much to dispel the idea.
- "The End of Time": It's revealed that the Master himself was a mind rape victim when the Time Lords retroactively planted the nonstop drumming in his head, which drove him crazy all his life, so that he could provide a way for them to escape the Time War.
- "Time Heist": The Teller has the ability to liquefy the brain of anyone he makes eye contact with, provided he isn't interrupted. Strangely, this doesn't kill the person, even though their head deflates; it must leave enough of the brainstem intact to keep the heart and lungs going. Being around, and absorbing, so many thoughts are slowly driving the Teller insane too, giving a rare two-way version of this trope.
