Carol Giambalvo, author of Exit Counseling: A Family Intervention, has said, "This comprehensive book takes the former cult member through all the necessary healing stages-from understanding the effects of mind control and cult involvement to taking positive steps toward a healthy, balanced recovery . . . I highly recommend this book, which respects the strength, courage, dignity, and intelligence of former cult members." The book deals with common traits of the charismatic leader; working through feelings of grief, shame; helplessness, betrayal, and fear; dealing with the effects of trauma, such as "floating," dissociation, nightmares and self-blame; reestablishing relationships with family and friends; the special needs of those born and raised in cults; accounts of ex-members who share their experiences through the healing process; guidelines for the mental health professional. Madeleine Tobias is a therapist who specializes in treating trauma sur-vivors and has counseled over 200 victims of restric-tive groups or relation-ships. She spent 14 years in eastern and psycho-therapy cults, and is now active in cult education. Janja Lalich was in a political cult for 10 years and is co-coordinator of the Bay Area support group for former cult members (FOCUS). Both authors are members of advisory committees of the American Family Foundation (publisher of The Cult Observer). The volume is from Hunter House Publishers of Alameda, California. ================================================================= If this is a copyrighted work, you are acknowledging by receipt of this document from FACTNet that on the basis of reasonable investigation, you have not been to obtain a copy elsewhere at a fair price, and that you are and will abide by the following copyright warning.
