How to remove mind control from the soldier

xcom-enemy-unknown

My one soldier who carries an arc caster just got mind controlled by the enemy. I would really like to capture this enemy rather than kill it, as I suspect I could learn a lot from it. How can I make it stop mind controlling my soldier without killing it?

Mind Control wears off after 4 turns, what I did was run all my units way back out of LOS then every turn tab through my guys until the mind controlled unit was back under my command.

This is the only way if you don't want to kill the enemy. There is no way to break mind control other than kill the controller. Panicing him does not free the victim, and you can not mind control neither the controller nor the controlled guy during the duration of the link.
