Association (ICSA) is a global network of people concerned
about psychological manipulation and abuse in cults, cultic
groups, alternative movements, and other
environments.
ICSA applies
research and professional perspectives to the
problems encountered by family members and former
group members adversely affected by a cultic
involvement.
In order to help affected families and
individuals, enhance the skills of helping
professionals, and forewarn those who might become
involved in harmful cults, cultic groups, and other group situations, ICSA:
ICSA is guided by a
distinguished
Board of Directors
and
Executive Advisory Board.

Writings of
Margaret Singer and
Herb Rosedale
Did you know that
those born or raised
in cultic groups
have treatment and
educational needs
different from young
adults or adults who
join?
neo-fundamentalism
(or Jihadism) is
based on political
slogans, not
theological
arguments, and
defies many
established Islamic
laws?
nearly 40% of
deprogrammed cult
members returned to
their groups?
a research study of
faith-healing groups
found that "one
hundred forty
fatalities were from
conditions for which
survival rates with
medical care would
have exceeded 90%"?
