-Caveat Lector- For anyone worried about Cult Mind Control, may I suggest the following Combatting Cult Mind Control (Park St. Press, 1990) Today, millions of people are being impacted by the influence of destructive cults. People in all walks of life, from the very young to the elderly are being deceptively recruited by a variety of destructive organizations--not just religious, but political, psychological, and commercial in their orientation. If you think it can never happen to you or anyone in your family, this book may change your mind. In this eye-opening account, Steven Hassan <aboutsteve.htm>, a former cult member and leading expert on destructive cults, shows how unsuspecting individuals are targeted for recruitment, isolated from family and friends, and psychologically manipulated. He identifies those groups which use behavior modification techniques to gain money, influence, and power, and shows how you can protect yourself and your family from their insidious influence. "Beyond its value as an illuminating personal account, this book is an informative and practical guide to cult-related issues...recommended to lay persons who wish to become better informed on this topic and to professionals whose responsibilities bring them into contact with cults, their members, and families whose lives are affected." American Journal of Psychiatry <ajp.htm> 147:7 July 1990 "Well worth reading by professionals in mental health, particularly those involved with students, because early recognition and appropriate intervention depend on greater awareness of this menace. Mind control is an emotive couplet, but it is not only a delusion in schizophrenia--it is a subtle fact in many people's lives." The Lancet <lancet.htm>--British Journal of Medicine "A major contribution...for the first time, a skilled and ethical exit counselor has spelled out the details of the complicate yet understandable process of helping free a human being form the bondage of mental manipulation... Steve Hassan has written a 'how to do something about it' book." Margaret Singer, Ph.D. Department of Psychology University of California, Berkeley There are many more endorsements from the religious community <rccmc.htm> and other professional communities. <ccmc.htm> Main Page <main.htm> | Back to Top <book.htm> | Order Autographed Copy <order.htm> | Order Online <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0892813113/freedomofmind> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
