[ot][spam] Partial Book Experience: Robert Lifton, Losing R / Cults, Cultism, Zealotry

[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

Author's Note

This book consists of excerpts from earlier work together with
considerable new material. The excerpts are printed in regular
typeface, while new commentaries are printed in italics [I'm likely to
put underscores around italics _like this_ if I encounter them]. The
introduction and chapters four, eight, and ten are new material but
are in regular type because in each case they constitute a full
chapter.

The excerpts weave together material from various parts of their
respective books, and have been edited for clarity as well as for
gender inclusiveness. I provide endnotes for new commentaries, while
citations for excerpts can be found in the original work.

In the use of Chinese words, I have changed the original Wade-Giles
romanization to contemporary Pinyin.
