    Cults and Families

    REVIEW ARTICLES Cults and Families Doni Whitsett & Stephen A. Kent Abstract This article provides an overview of cult-related issues that may reveal themselves in therapeutic situations. These issues include: families in cults; parental (especially mothers’) roles in cults; the impact that cult leaders have on families; the destruction of family intimacy; child abuse; issues encountered by noncustodial parents; the impact on cognitive, psychological, and moral development; and health issues. The authors borrow from numerous the- oretical perspectives to illustrate their points, including self psychology, developmental theory, and the sociology of religion. They conclude with a discussion of the therapeutic challenges that therapists face when working with cult-involved clients and make preliminary recommendations for treatment.

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY of the NATION of ISLAM and ISLAM Dwi

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE NATION OF ISLAM AND ISLAM Dwi Hesti Yuliani-Sato A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Dr. Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor Dr. Awad Ibrahim ©2007 Dwi Hesti Yuliani-Sato All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Advisor This study compares the Nation of Islam with the religion of Islam to understand the extent of its religious kinship to Islam. As with other religions, there are various understandings of Islam and no single agreement on what constitutes being a Muslim. With regard to that matter, the Nation of Islam’s (NOI) teachings and beliefs are regarded as unconventional if viewed from the conventions of Islam. Being unconventional in terms of doctrines and having a focus on racial struggle rather than on religious nurturing position the Nation of Islam more as a social movement than as a religious organization. Further, this raises a question, to some parties, of whether the NOI’s members are Muslims in the sense of mainstream Islam’s standard. It is the issue of conventional versus unconventional that is at the core of this study. The methodologies used are observation, interview, and literary research. Prior to writing the thesis, research on the Nation of Islam in Toledo was conducted. The researcher observed the Nation of Islam in Toledo and Savannah, Georgia, and interviewed some people from the Nation of Islam in Toledo and Detroit as well as a historian of religion from Bowling Green State University.

    Acknowledgments Many People, for Many Years, Have Discussed The

    Acknowledgments Many people, for many years, have discussed the need for a record of the Brethren assemblies in North America. David Rodgers, long associated with Emmaus Bible College and assemblies in Iowa and elsewhere, is one of these, and is the person who has done most to promote and encourage the writing of this book. He has provided continuing encouragement and has been an invaluable help in identifying and contacting people who could provide information, and urging their cooperation. Emmaus Bible College, in the persons of Chancellor Dan Smith, Librarian John Rush, and several of the faculty, has been indispensable to this project: the Chancellor with his encouragement; the Librarian with his willingness to put the resources of the library at my disposal and for answering lots of questions; and the faculty who in several ways have encouraged me along the way and critiqued portions of the manuscript at various stages of writing. Many respondents to the questionnaires sent to them have done much more than provide information about their own assemblies; they have provided assistance in the form of information and contacts for other assemblies. Many people have patiently responded several times to my repeated questioning. When I have been reasonably satisfied with a draft for a certain region of the continent, I have sent it to a reviewer for comments, corrections, and additions. The assistance provided by the reviewers has been invaluable. Many reviewers have supplied a great amount of additional information and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing so. To all these people, indispensable to this project, I give my heartfelt thanks.

    Introduction to the ICSA 2007 Annual Conference

    Introduction to the ICSA 2007 Annual Conference Michael Langone, Ph.D., Executive Director, ICSA Michael Kropveld, Executive Director, Info-Cult About the International Cultic Studies Association and Info-Cult Founded in 1979, the International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) is a network of people concerned about cultic, manipulative, and abusive groups. As the leading professional organization in the field, ICSA strives to increase understanding and awareness of such groups and to help people that they harm. ICSA seeks to apply academic and professional research and analyses to the practical problems of families and individuals harmed by cultic experiences and to the professionals who seek to help them and/or forewarn those who might become involved in harmful group situations. ICSA is funded by individuals and foundations. Founded in 1980, Info-Cult is a non-profit charitable organization whose objectives are to: • Promote the study of cultic phenomena; • Inform, raise awareness and educate the public about these phenomena; • Help people with problems related to these phenomena. Info-Cult is funded in part by the Quebec Provincial Ministry of Health and Social Services and operates in both English and French. It houses one of the most unique collections of materials on "cults", "new religious movements" and related groups and subjects. Definitional Issues A central component of ICSA’s mission is to study psychological manipulation and abuse, especially as it manifests in cultic and other groups. Different people, attach different and usually imprecise meanings to the term “cult.” Those who have sought information from ICSA and Info-Cult have – properly or improperly –used “cult” to refer to a wide variety of phenomena.

EMBED for wordpress. Want more? The following list of social-structural, social-psychological, and interpersonal behavioral patterns commonly found in cultic environments may be helpful in assessing a particular group or relationship. Compare these patterns to the situation you were in or in which you, a family member, or friend is currently involved. This list may help you determine if there is cause for concern. This is not so much a diagnostic instrument as it is an analytical tool. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group for example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
  • Le Mani Sulla Mente

    Le Mani Sulla Mente

    LE MANI SULLA MENTE PROGETTO SCUOLA, INFORMAZIONE - PREVENZIONE Col patrocinio del Comune di Rimini, della Provincia di Rimini, della Regione Emilia Romagna e con la collaborazione di Volontarimini, -Centro servizi per il volontariato della provincia Rimini-, prosegue la campagna culturale iniziata nell‟ottobre 2010 “prevenire è meglio che curare” che vede la ristampa aggiornata della pubblicazione Le MANI sulla MENTE incentrata sul fenomeno condizionamento psicologico e fisiologico attuato in contesti settari abusanti e/o criminogeni. L‟intento è quello di fornire ai lettori le informazioni necessarie per non cadere vittima di tali deleterie organizzazioni. I reati perpetrati all‟interno di realtà comunitarie coercitive consistono in abusi e violenze psicologiche emotive, fisiche e sessuali, sia su adulti che minori, con danni esistenziali attinenti la sfera dell‟equilibrio psichico, affettivo e dei rapporti sociali. Ai reati contro la persona si associano sempre quelli di natura patrimoniale come truffa, appropriazione indebita, sfruttamento del lavoro, che causano perdita di denaro, beni immobili e spesso di patrimoni familiari. Il programma è realizzato nelle scuole secondarie superiori e nell‟ambito di conferenze e convegni, cui l‟associazione Favis è chiamata a partecipare, mediante distribuzione gratuita della pubblicazione. Con questo progetto, -unico in Italia-, l‟Associazione FAVIS, nei limiti dettati dalle proprie dimensioni e dalle risorse finanziarie, cerca di supplire all‟assenza dello Stato in quell‟opera di sensibilizzazione e prevenzione del fenomeno sollecitata dallo stesso Consiglio d'Europa agli Stati membri, in particolare chiedeva di promuovere, tra l‟altro, mirate politiche educative e preventive sul fenomeno settario abusante a tutela dei soggetti maggiormente vulnerabili e dei minori, in considerazione dell'inquietante diffusione a livello europeo delle cosiddette «sette», dei drammatici avvenimenti e delle violazioni dei diritti umani determinate dalle condotte delittuose di gruppi o movimenti a carattere totalizzante costrittivo.

    Ider Les Sortants De Secte Coercitive ?

    Aider les sortants de secte coercitive ? Pour un « sortant » de secte coercitive, s’être détaché du groupe ou du gou- rou et avoir désadhéré à la doctrine sont une chose, tandis que le travail en profondeur pour en sortir mentalement sans pour autant effacer toute cette période de vie en est une autre. Cela va lui demander un long travail pour re- construire sa personnalité, retrouver une autonomie, des relations affectives, amicales et sociales, ses valeurs et un avenir. Mais au préalable, il lui faut comprendre ce que sont l’emprise mentale et ses effets pour affronter, gérer et dominer ce qui risque, pendant des mois ou des années, d’entraver la reprise de sa construction personnelle et de son estime de soi : Des angoisses : réminiscences de l’emprise mentale (« prédictions » de malheurs, pseudo-pouvoirs à distance de son ancien gourou), peur des gens de l’extérieur, peur de retrouver la réalité , ses stress et les problèmes d’avant la secte. Des culpabilités comme celle d’avoir accepté des humiliations, avoir aban- donné ses enfants à la secte, avoir quitté des proches ou des amis restés dans la secte, trompé des gens qu’il a lui-même embrigadés, ou bien l’em- barras de retrouver ceux de sa famille qu’il avait blessés en se coupant d’eux.

Its existence and popularity are a global phenomenon, interesting not only for sociologists of religion but for politicians, philosophers and people of faith. The impact of this movement and the two-way social change remain a rare subject of study and this paper aims to fill the gaps and to discuss contemporary situation in regards to its followers.
