Description

Marc Galanter (au). From the mass weddings of Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church to the mass suicides at Jonestown, charismatic cults & their devotees have become facts of American life. In this volume, based on 15 years of direct encounters with cults & their detractors in the 1970s & 1980s, Marc Galanter offers a compelling look into the unique world of these “charismatic groups.” Featuring a comprehensive psychological analysis of the “Moonies” as well as a provocative & controversial account of the similarities between cults & “zealous” self-help movements such as Alcoholics Anonymous, the book presents an engrossing psychological tour of this fascinating modern phenomenon.
