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.

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.
