| Bio: |
Janja Lalich, Ph.D.
is
Associate Professor of Sociology at California
State University, Chico. Her research and
writing has focused on cults and controversial
groups, with a specialization in charismatic
authority, power relations, ideology, and social
control, and issues related to gender and
sexuality. Take Back Your Life: Recovering
from Cults and Abusive Relationships (with
Madeleine Tobias - 2004) is a general
introduction to cults with a focus on recovery.
Bounded Choice: True Believers and
Charismatic Cults, (University of California
Press - 2005) presents a new approach to
understanding cult commitments, and is based on
her comparative study of Heaven’s Gate, which
committed collective suicide in 1997, and the
Democratic Workers Party, a radical left-wing
political cult. Other works include being guest
editor of Women Under the Influence: A Study
of Women’s Lives in Totalist Groups (a
special issue of Cultic Studies Journal
14,1, 1997); and coauthor of “Crazy”
Therapies: What Are They? Do They Work?
(Jossey-Bass, 1996); Cults in Our Midst
(Jossey-Bass, 1995); and Captive Hearts,
Captive Minds: Freedom and Recovery from Cults
and Abusive Relationships (Hunter House,
1994). (JLalich@csuchico.edu) |
