" I want to go on record as strongly endorsing
Steven Hassan's approach to understanding the sources of cult power
in controlling the minds and behavior of members. His now classic
text on cultic mind control, Combatting Cult Mind Control (1990,
Park St. Press) integrates his personal experiences in a cult with
his cogent analysis of the underlying dynamic processes, and then
adds in to the mix current research and theory."
...Steven Hassan's approach is one that I value
more than that of any other researcher or clinical practitioner...
Hassan is a model of clear exposition, his
original ideas are brilliantly presented in a captivating style.
I am confident that readers of his new book, Releasing the Bonds,
will share my enthusiasm for what this author tells us about how
to deal with the growing menace of cults."
