Cultic Studies Review, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2003

 

Reflections on Marriage and Children After the Cult

 

Lorna Goldberg, M.S.W., L.C.S.W.


Abstract


Married life within a cult can impact on former cult members’ post-cult experiences. Among the factors that may influence the nature and severity of problems that may arise are: the behavior of the cult leader, transference, and defense mechanisms of projection and projective identification. Although these processes are common to most marriages, they take on a particular hue in cult situations. A case example is presented to illustrate these processes.
