It would never happen to me. That’s what cult expert Rachel Bernstein’s subjects thought before becoming ensnared by the cults that took over their lives. A brother and sister who grew up in and escaped an FLDS cult. A struggling couple whose lives were upended by a cultic therapy group. A college student sucked in by a Svengali-like dating guru and manipulated into gender transition. A woman exploited by a mystic who turned her clients into handmaidens and drained their bank accounts. These are just some of the stories therapist and cult-expert Rachel Bernstein reveals in her groundbreaking new book, Cult Therapy, where she takes readers behind the scenes during the arduous rehabilitation process of ten of her most unforgettable clients. An expert with thirty years of experience helping cult members, Bernstein explains the psychology behind cults—whether a cult of two or of thousands—and humanizes the victims of her shocking case studies.
