Product Description
Book Description
Cults, whether religious, political, psychotherapeutic or commercial, are unethically manipulative, seductive groups that exploit members and can control their lives. Drawing upon the clinical expertise of professionals and the personal experiences of those formerly involved in high-intensity mind-control groups, this book provides a guide to the cult experience. Practical guidelines are presented for helping former cult members manage the problems they encounter when leaving cults.

Useful in determining what a cult is,
By A Customer
This review is from: Recovery From Cults (Paperback)
Whereas Alcoholics Anonymous does not have leaders who promote their personal programs nor does it cause psychological harm, I was involved in a cult with an extremely controlling and harmful leader. The cult I was involved in fits all the criteria that Dr. Langone describes in this book.

This booked helped me to leave Alcoholics Anonymous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Recovery From Cults (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book with plenty of information to help the person leaving a high-control group or cult. The stages of recovery are discussed so the exiting member knows what kind of "head trips" to expect during the mental detox of cult involvement. I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An Absolute Must For All Who Are Affected By Cults,
This review is from: Recovery From Cults (Paperback)
This was one of the first books I read after 9 years in a cult, too bad I read it more than a year and a half after I quit (I wish I would`ve found this earlier, right after I left the group I was in). I recommend this to all ex-members of cults, as well as anyone interested in or affected by them; and ESPECIALLY anyone in any group (religious or otherwise) who questions the nature of your group, and has thoughts of leaving. This book is informative, affirmative, and great support for ex-members and their families when you feel like no one else understands what you`ve been through.
