How to Tell You're in a Cult

Cults are potentially harmful because they use psychological techniques to exert a high degree of control over members. Involvement in a cult can disrupt a member's education, career, finances, social life, or family ties. Some cults have persuaded members to cause harm or break the law. Knowledge of cult recruitment and indoctrination methods helps inoculate against their influence. Learn about them in this book, along with warning signs of cult activity, and advice on helping cult members and ex-members. The aim is not to cast judgement on anyone or any group, but to help readers make well-informed decisions for themselves.
