Janja Lalich, Ph.D.
is Professor of Sociology at California
State University, Chico. Her research and writing has focused on cults and
controversial groups, with a specialization in charismatic authority, power
relations, ideology, and social control, and issues related to gender and
sexuality. Her most recent book,
Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive
Relationships (with Madeleine Tobias - 2006
- Bay Tree Publishing),
is a general introduction to cults with a focus
on recovery.
Bounded Choice: True Believers and
Charismatic Cults (University of California Press - 2004) presents a new approach
to understanding cult commitments, and is based on her comparative study of
Heaven’s Gate, which committed collective suicide in 1997, and the Democratic
Workers Party, a radical left-wing political cult
(of which she
was a leading member for more than 10 years). Other works include being
guest editor of Women Under the Influence: A Study of Women’s Lives in
Totalist Groups (a special issue of Cultic Studies Journal 14,1,
1997); and coauthor of “Crazy” Therapies: What Are They? Do They Work?
(Jossey-Bass, 1996); Cults in Our Midst (Jossey-Bass, 1995); and
Captive Hearts, Captive Minds: Freedom and Recovery from Cults and Abusive
Relationships (Hunter House, 1994). (JLalich@csuchico.edu)
