Cults: Faith, Healing and Coercion Hardcover - 1999 - 2nd Edition
by Marc Galanter
First line
We tend to think of cults as anomalies, as if alien forces had swept their members-people who once seemed normal-into a netherworld beyond reason or understanding.
From the rear cover
From the mass weddings of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church to the ritual suicides at Heaven's Gate, charismatic cults and their devotees have become facts of American life. Using material gleaned from twenty-five years of direct encounters with cults and their detractors, as well as extensive research, Marc Galanter offers the most extensive psychological analysis of these organizations available. Cults explores not only how members feel and think at all stages of their involvement, but also how larger social and psychological forces reinforce individual commitment within the cults.
