Information about Cults and Psychological Manipulation

International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) studies psychological manipulation, cult groups, sects, and new religious movements.

 

AFF, the leading professional organization concerned about cults and psychological manipulation, was founded 20 years ago in 1979. AFF is known for its professionalism, for building its practical educational services for families, former group members, helping professionals, educators, and young people on a base of scholarly study and research.

We at ICSA are confident that through our unique combination of publications, conferences/workshops, programs, and services, we can be of assistance to those who have been adversely affected by a cult experience.
