Written by a cult survivor and renowned expert on the phenomenon of cults and totalitarianism, this important book draws on a substantial well of academic research to offer new and much-needed clarity on the dynamics of these systems of control. It focuses on how charismatic, authoritarian leaders control their followers’ attachment relationships and shape their minds via manipulative social structures and ideologies. Emotionally and cognitively isolated, these followers become unable to act in their own survival interests. From small, local cults to global players like ISIS and North Korea, the impact of these movements is widespread and growing. This rigorous yet gripping exploration sheds vital new light on how they operate and how they might be resisted.
