Table of Contents

Contents: Historical and psychological examination of the phenomena of conversion and commitment in the 19th and 20th centuries, with emphasis on contemporary cults - The book is unique in its interdisciplinary approach to the intra- and interpersonal dynamics of conversion, and the ripple effects of conversion on others.

Reviews

... The work provides a unique and illuminating historical perspective which makes contemporary cult conversions, and the social responses to them, more comprehensible than they have been until now... (Robert E. Schechter, Ph.D., Associate Editor, Cultic Studies Journal, Director of Publications, American Family Foundation)
