The number of destructive mind control groups is growing, with estimates as high as 5,000 in the U.S. alone. Steven Hassan, himself a former member of the Unification Church, addresses the problem in Releasing the Bonds. Based on insider knowledge, years of scientific study, and the author's frequent workshops, the book offers a noncoercive, legal model for helping victims of mind control. The Strategic Interaction Approach teaches family and friends how to strategically influence the individual involved, laying out practical methods for recognizing the signs of a destructive relationship, undoing residual effects of past cult experiences, refuting fallacies about these groups, and becoming active in opposing them.

Over his years as president, Trump's behavior has become increasingly alarming, yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Beyond his lies and narcissism there is a familiar pattern--of a cult leader and his followers. Hassan draws parallels between our current president and people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, L. Ron Hubbard, and Sun Myung Moon. He details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan emphasizes why it is crucial that we recognize ways to protect ourselves from future authoritarian leaders. -- adapted from jacket
