DESCRIPTION:Attachment theory is a useful lens by which to understand the 
 complex conversion processes experienced by followers of cults and extremi
 st groups. The mechanisms and effects of disorganized attachment can help 
 explain the leadership\, structure\, ideologies and coercive control (or b
 rainwashing) processes that characterize such groups. The emotional and co
 gnitive effects of these isolating and highly controlling relationships wi
 ll be discussed. This talk will also suggest that there is an urgent need 
 to develop a public health approach for prevention of the related problems
  of cult recruitment and radicalization.
