Since 1979 ICSA
(International Cultic Studies Association, formerly known as ICSA, American
Family Foundation) has contributed hugely to the advancement of understanding of
the cult problem and to the education of youth, the public, and professionals.
We estimate that:
- Several hundred thousand students have
directly benefited from our preventive educational materials (especially the
video narrated by Charlton Heston,
Cults: Saying No Under Pressure).
- ICSA experts have been cited in hundreds,
probably thousands, of print and broadcast news stories.
- Our network of volunteer professionals
associated with ICSA has increased to nearly 150. Collectively they have
spoken to tens of thousands of professionals at conventions and other
meetings.
- Nearly one-half of the psychological
literature in the field is written by ICSA associates and nearly one-third
has been published in ICSA's Cultic Studies Journal and
Cultic Studies Review.
- Since its founding, ICSA has sent
information via US mail to more than 100,000 people.
- Our
workshops and
conferences have helped several thousand former members and
families.
- Hundreds of thousands of people have read
the 30 books authored by ICSA associates over the years.
- We estimate that more than 1,000,000
people from more than 70 countries visit our Web site
each year.
