Author Steven Hassan, leading expert on counseling people away from destructive cults, sets forth techniques that can be used to undo cult mind control and help individuals break away from cult domination. As a former member of a controversial cult, he provides an inside view of cult live - its seductions, its abuses, and the deep psychological disturbances and personality changes that it can cause. He tells the chilling story of his own recruitment and indoctrination; the painful realization that he had been lied to, manipulated, and robbed of his identity; and the long ordeal of * to a normal life. Combating Mind Control unmasks the methods employed by destructive cults to recruit and control their members. It explains the psychology of these techniques as well as practical means of identifying them and protecting against their influence.
