This review is from: Youth, Brainwashing, and the Extremist Cults (Paperback)
Newspaper headlines only begin to tell what's happening. Behind every headline is a story of bizarre behavior, of young lives misshapen or destroyed under the totalitarian control of self-glorifying cult leaders. And in almost every case, the phenomenon of this growing, grotesque subculture has left parents anguished and confused. Among the Church of Sun Myung Moon, Divine Light Mission, Alamo Christian Foundation, The Way, The Love Family, Children of God, and the Hare Krishna movement.
This book considers the whole range of phenomena--sociological, psychological, and spiritual--and probes the implications for the church and for individuals. Among the questions sociologist Ronald M. Enroth addresses himself to are "What type of person is most susceptible to cults, and why? What happens after a person joins? How does he get out? What is "deprograming," and why is it controversial?" This book is reading for parents and youth, and for anyone who knows someone involved in a cult. Dr. Enroth has chronicled and documented not only what's happening, but why it happens--and what it means to you and those you love.
