Season 1, episode 9. The Enterprise is going to drop off some supplies to the famed Dr. Tristan Adams - he is well known for his humane treatments of mental patients. The enterprise beamed down the supplies and beamed up some records - but they also ended up beaming up a man that seems to be a madman, a patient of Dr. Adams. That patient is Dr. Simon van Gelder, a man that was Dr. Adams' assistant. Kirk beams down to the surface with the ships psychiatrist, Helen Noel. Spock and Dr. McCoy get a hold of van Gelder, restrain him in medical and Spock ends up doing a Vulcan mind-meld in order to get a clearer understanding what van Gelder is trying to tell them. It seems Dr. Adams is conducting treatments that allows him to control the minds of others.
It's too bad the captain didn't use the equipment on Dr. Adams in order to control his mind back to the "good side", steering him away from his sadistic and twisted ways.
