ISBN: 9781474280990 出版年：2016 页码：258 John A Saliba Bloomsbury Publishing

Do new religious movements, or "cults" as they are often known, harm those who join them, or are they a form of alternative therapy? This objective analysis examines the phenomenon of cults from a variety of perspectives: psychological, sociological, legal and theological, and deals with some of the major problems which confront those dealing with issues raised by these movements.
