ICSA's Impact

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.
