SUMMARY: (from the jacket) This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects
of the cult experience. It draws on the clinical expertise of treatment professionals
and the personal experiences of those formerly involved in high-intensity
mind-control groups. The book examines the history of the cult phenomenon,
the nature of mind control, the psychological literature on post-cult distress,
why people leave cults, exit counseling and deprogramming, and how to facilitate
recovery. (It) makes a strong case for the extreme damage that cults can do
to members physically, as well as psychologically and spiritually. There are
specific guidelines for different types of counseling: psychotherapy, pastoral
counseling, psychiatric hospitalization, and suggestions for support groups,
families and ex-members themselves.
