Cult Recovery: A Clinician’s Guide to
Working With Former Members and Families
icsahome.com/networks/mentalhealth/cultrecoverybook
This landmark 500-page book,
with chapters from leading
clinicians and researchers,
describes the current state
of the art in helping people
adversely affected by a
cultic dynamic, whether in a
cult, a mainstream religious
denomination, psychotherapy, a
family, or another interpersonal
relationship.
People are different, and different
people will respond to the same
environment in different ways.
That is why the first clinical
rule in working with former
cult members and families is to
remain flexible and not rigidly
adhere to a clinical ideology. The
chapters in this book reflect this
attitude of openness, while describing how different experts approach the
kinds of problems that might confront therapists working with former cult
members and those with affected loved ones.
Though primarily aimed at helpers, the clearly written chapters of this
500-page book can help family members and former members of cultic
situations, including those born or raised in such environments.
“Decades of valuable and useful research and treatment experience are contained in these
essays. Nothing comparable exists in current mental health literature. It will be the standard
reference for treating cult victims for years to come.”
—Stephen Kent, PhD, University of Alberta
“Never before has there been so instructive a collection of information on cult-relevant
treatment issues. This book should be in easy reach on the shelf of any clinician who provides
such treatment.”
—Robert Cialdini, PhD, Author of Influence and Pre-Suasion
“I have been looking forward to this book becoming a reality. At last, a comprehensive guide
to recommend to students and professionals wishing to learn more about how to help those
affected by abusive groups. Through the contributions of leading experts dedicated over the
years to helping those harmed by a cult experience, the editors have done an outstanding
job of bringing together accumulated knowledge and new insights on cult recovery. A must-
read for students and mental health professionals interested in setting a high bar for further
work with those who suffer.”
