Cults: An Educational Volume

Rick Ross is an internationally known expert regarding radical, extreme and often unsafe groups--some that have been called "cults." Since 1982 he has been involved in hundreds of interventions in an effort to help the victims of destructive groups. He has been qualified and accepted as an expert witness and has testified in numerous court cases across the United States concerning destructive groups and assisted law enforcement.

The finest news organizations, such as Time, Newsweek, CBS, CNN and ABC News have counted on Rick Ross to provide an understanding of many dangerous groups and the techniques they often use to recruit and retain members.

Mr. Ross is to be commended for reminding us of the importance of critical thinking and the value of education in making an informed decision about involvement with a particular group or organization."

"This cult educational video with attached material contains a wealth of information. It is not only a synthesis of existing knowledge from cult experts, but also includes the extensive and invaluable first hand experience of Rick Ross--acquired through his many years of work with cult members and their families. All the material within this educational volume is presented in a way that makes it very accessible for individual use, in a classroom setting or at a meeting. Scenes reflecting many cults appear within the video and meaningful historical information is cited. The entire volume is presented effectively and professionally. I highly recommend this educational volume to a wide range of users."
