Singer (emeritus, psychology, U. of California at Berkeley) warns that a multitude of cultic groups are exploiting followers throughout the United States using deliberate "mind manipulations" or "thought-reform processes." She categorizes the "three thousand to five thousand cults in the United States" as belonging to one of two categories: groups that use organized psychological and social persuasion policies to promote attitudinal change and establish long-term control of recruits and commercially sold "self-improvement" organizations that use similar persuasion processes, but do not intend long-term control. It is these persuasion processes that are at the heart of Singer's concern. She describes how they operate and how they can be countered. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
