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.
