Joseph Szimhart began research into cultic influence in 1980, after ending his two-year
devotion to a New Age sect called Church Universal and Triumphant. He began to work
professionally as an intervention specialist and exit counselor in 1986 on an international
scale. From 1985 through 1992, he was chairman of an interdenominational, cult
information organization in New Mexico and lectured throughout the state. He has written
many reviews and articles about cultic issues for Skeptical Inquirer, Cultic Studies Journal,
and other publications. He continues to consult for the media and maintains a website for
information about cults: http://www.users.fast.net~szimhart. For family reasons, he
minimized his exit counseling work since 1998 to take a position with a psychiatric
emergency hospital. Mr. Szimhart continues to pursue his fine art career, currently working
on several commissions. (szimhart@fast.net)
