Recovery from Cults

"Altogether the information contained in this book should be warmly appreciated by those who in one way or another are helping cult victims recover from the effects of their exploitation. Victims who have been out of a cult for a time might find reading the book a way of gaining valuable insight that could contribute helpfully to their further recovery." —Journal of Psychology and Theology

Drawing upon the clinical expertise of professionals and the personal experiences of those formerly involved in high-intensity mind-control groups, this book is a comprehensive guide to the cult experience. Michael Langone and his colleagues provide practical guidelines for helping former cult members manage the problems they encounter when leaving cults.

Michael Langone lives in southern Florida.
