Combatting cult mind control
Steven Hassan
In "Combatting Cult Mind Control" beschreibt Steven Hassan, ein ehemaliger Moon-Sektenmitglied, die Techniken der Gehirnwäsche und Manipulation, die von Kulten eingesetzt werden. Er entwickelt das BITE-Modell, ein Akronym für Verhalten, Information, Denken und Emotion, um die verschiedenen Aspekte der Kultkontrolle zu analysieren. Das Buch bietet praktische Strategien und Techniken für Aussteiger und Angehörige, um sich von der Kontrolle von Kulten zu befreien. Hassan's Arbeit ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Verständnis von Kultmanipulation und bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die psychologischen Mechanismen der Gehirnwäsche. Das Buch ist eine wichtige Ressource für diejenigen, die sich mit Kulten auseinandersetzen.

In another nod to the Alex Kouts episodes, you've negotiated the raises to elevate you into a higher tax bracket -- but you're clueless about how to behave in the associated culture. How do you fit in with your new peers without feeling like you just landed on another planet?

Three years ago, you married a widow whose husband died three years before that. You don't really have a problem talking about him with her, but you no longer want to visit his grave with her where she breaks down and makes you feel like a consolation prize. Is this wrong of you?
