内容説明
Over the past two decades, in the United States alone, an estimated twenty million people have joined cults. Today, 3000 to 5000 cults are working to recruit new members and at any point in time, two-and-a-half to three million Americans are active cult members. Often a cult is disguised as a legitimate business or organization: a restaurant, self-help group, psychotherapy clinic, or leadership training program could be a front for the cult. Anyone - no matter what age or income level - could be susceptible to the covert and seductive nature of a cult. Singer's book reveals what cults are and how they work, and offers information on how to help people escape cult entrapments and recover from the experience.
