Psychologists remain at a loss for a comprehensive theory that

plays a role in facilitating and maintaining these conversions. Some 
consider hypnosis to be the central and most salient process in cult 
indoctrination. Others believe hypnosis plays an ambiguous or 
relatively small role.

Can Hypnosis Explain "Cult" Conversion? Evidence from Science and 
Practice

The following is a summary of a paper presented at the 2001 annual 
meeting of the American Psychological Association (APA), under the 
sponsorship of Division 30 (Psychological Hypnosis).

Professor Emeritus (University of Pennsylvania) Arthur Dole, Ph.D. 
chaired the symposium. Participants included: mental health 
counselor/hypnotherapist and cult expert Steven Hassan, and 
psychologists Linda Jayne Dubrow and Steve K. Dubrow-Eichel. The 
Discussant was Edward Frischholz, a former President of Division 30 
and currently Scientific Editor of the American Journal of Clinical 
Hypnosis.

Below you will find the General Statement and individual presentation 
abstracts submitted to APA.

General Statement
According to renowned psychiatrist and social critic Robert Jay 
Lifton, 21st century societies will be faced by ongoing threats of 
violence at the hands of relatively small extremist movements and 
³cults.² These groups typically eschew overt physical coercion and 
instead maintain group purpose and obedience by relying on more 
subtle yet powerful means of social and psychological influence.
Psychologists remain at a loss for a comprehensive theory that 
explains cult conversion and membership. Many believe that hypnosis 
plays a role in facilitating and maintaining these conversions. Some 
consider hypnosis to be the central and most salient process in cult 
indoctrination. Others believe hypnosis plays an ambiguous or 
relatively small role. Still others point to the large number of 
conversion/indoctrination failures and other anomalies of cult 
conversion as proof that hypnosis is obscures our understanding of 
conversion experiences.

This symposium considers the role of hypnosis in cult conversion from 
several viewpoints. The misuse of hypnosis is explored in one large 
cultic group founded by a science fiction writer and stage hypnotist. 
Its indoctrination methods liberally incorporate covert as well as 
overt hypnotic methods. The interaction of hypnosis and iatrogenic 
group process in a psychotherapy cult is presented next. The leaders 
(who recently surrendered their licenses following a series of 
malpractice and ethics complaints) used hypnotic techniques in group 
settings in which strong group pressure produced memories of 
childhood satanic abuse. They also induced and utilized prolonged 
trance states.

The third presenter asks if hypnosis is a too-convenient label 
applied haphazardly and uncritically to a range of phenomena that are 
better understood by employing more parsimonious social psychological 
concepts. Describing cultic indoctrination processes as ³hypnosis²may 
oversimplify the cult phenomenon. Research suggests that cultic 
groups employ a broad range of influence strategies, some mundane and 
others exotic, and that cultic groups vary considerably.

[Introduction by Steve Dubrow-Eichel]


Cultic groups employ a broad range of influence strategies, some 
mundane and others exotic. These groups in and of themselves vary 
considerably. In fact, some research suggests there may be more 
variability among groups labeled as ³cultic² than there is between 
³cults² and groups considered non-cultic. Nevertheless, many cultic 
groups do seem to employ methods that can be perceived by observers 
and participants as ³hypnosis.² Using research on overt, covert and 
³extended² hypnosis, I will critically consider the employment of 
hypnosis in cult conversion, and will consider whether it should be 
accorded a minor role at best in explaining cult conversion. I will 
conclude by evaluating the ways in which the phenomenon of cult 
conversion informs us about the discrete ³reality² of hypnosis.

DA, discutam si despre mormoni si despre toate sectele radicale!Asta 
dscutam:despre radicalism, prozelitism la unele secte.Daca mormonii 
au aparut in Romania de ce sa nu discutam?
E neproductiv sa o intoarcem la lutherani si baptisti.Ei NU sunt 
secte.Vorbeam despre secte RADICALE cu un mod de viata BIZAR.Am dat 
exemple si mai toata lumea cunoaste exemple de genul asta.Nu degeaba 
majoritatea oamenilor se tin departe de ei, pentru ca sunt RADICALI.!

Complet off-topic, poate fi insa folositor.Vad ca ai povestit despre 
un accident la genunchi:

E bine sa stii ca tendoanele rupte NU se repara niciodata de la 
sine.Exista interventie orthoscopica la nivelul genunchiului fara 
transplant, cu autotransplant.Daca ai posibilitatea fa-o pentru ca 
protejeaza genunchiul pentru mai tarziu.Dupa 6-12 luni, cu ceva efort 
la terapie, se poate alerga oricat, schia, orice.No restrictions!99% 
genunchiul ca nou.Tehnica e avansata la nivelul asta si permite chiar 
reabilitarea 99% pentru sportivi de mare performanta.E OK!

dpdv al meu cred ca NU incearca nimeni sa-ti inchida gura fortat.Dar 
asa cum am mai spus am spus discutia cade in ridicol cand apare 
ambitia de a avea ultimul cuvant si a intoarce toate cuvintele pe 
toate sensurile in toate frazele.

Eu nu mai revin asupra subiectului.Cred ca neintelegerea a intervenit 
din gresita interpretare, vorbind pe subiecte diferite respectiv 
secte respectiv, baptisti, lutherani, etc.
Daca vrem sa dezbatem un subiect sunt convins ca nu asa il dezbatem:

> Mie-mi suna paranoic.  Poate ma insel.

Oricum, consider subiectul incheiat.

Legat de articolul acela cu Cioran si Nae Ionescu "nocivi".Ma mir ca 
nu l-au "agatat" cumva si pe Eliade.cand a lucrat ca diplomat la 
Lisabona a scris "Salazar si Revolutia portugheza", o carte care NU 
place multora.
Insa in apararea lui Eliade exista chiar la Ottawa un medic care a 
scris articole interesante.Se numeste Francis I. Dworschak si 
articolul "Mircea Eliade and his detractors" il gasesti aici:
