Lita Linzer Schwartz, Ph.D.
Abstract
The beginning of a new century and a new Millennium seems to be an appropriate
time to re-examine those movements that claim to have exclusive knowledge of

from those recruiters. Consideration of the tie between cult group
characteristics and the attacks of September 11, 2001 is also included.
