With my trust in everyone being shattered, this book made me feel understood and loved. It is filled with valuable...

It explains and makes sense of some very bewildering and deceptive manipulation techniques. And it has...

I wish I had found this book immediately after leaving the cult I was involved in.This book offers invaluable assitance to those who have been involved with a destructive cult, whether it be relgious, political or psycho-theraputic.
