This conference will focus on the helping needs of former group members and families concerned about a loved one in a high-demand or cultic group or relationship.

The conference will take place at La Fonda on the Plaza, one of Santa Fe’s finest hotels, located in the heart of the old city. Santa Fe has been chosen to give ICSA’s western supporters an opportunity to attend a conference closer to home.

Speakers include some of the cultic-studies field’s most experienced mental health professionals, as well as other experts. Among the mental health professionals attending will be contributors to a book project that will present the clinical state of the art in this field. 

Attend this conference if you are interested in how psychologically manipulative and demanding groups can hurt people and what can be done to help those who are harmed.
