Nationally renowned cult expert Steven Hassan
presents the state of the art guide on how to help someone
involved with cult mind control.
Releasing the bonds reveals a much more refined method to help
family and friends, called the Strategic Interaction Approach.
This non-coercive, completely legal approach is far better than
deprogramming, and even exit counseling. Topics covered in depth
include: evaluating the situation; interacting with dual
identities; communication strategies for phone calls, letter
writing and visits; understanding and utilizing cult beliefs and
tactics; techniques to reality-test and promote freedom of mind;
and planning and implementing effective interventions. See also
Steven Hassan's previous book, Combatting Cult Mind Control.
"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."
