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.

An Absolute Must For All Who Are Affected By Cults
3 Dec 1999
By Phillip Tomas
- Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

This booked helped me to leave Alcoholics Anonymous
8 May 2000
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

Recovery From Cults
18 May 2010
By Melissa A. Yates
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am in the middle of this book right now. It is mostly about the kind of cults that kid nap people or that convince them to leave home. Like the Moonies and the T.M. and many others. If you are looking for a book about the cult next door this might not be the book for you. There is NO mention of Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses or Christian Scientist. However, as a recovering Mormon I still found a lot of information that I could relate to. The author really does know what it feels like for someone to leave a cult or a controlled environment. He points out the confusion of thinking to your self "Am I a victim of this cult or am I an agent of the Devil because I left?" I can relate to this book. But it is a really heavy read. This book is worth reading.
