Steven Hassan Celebrates 40 years of deprogramming and activism

Our friend and professional advisor, Steven Hassan, is celebrating his 40th anniversary of deprogramming (and 40 years of activism). We thank him for his incredible work over the years helping victims (and families) who have suffered from involvement with high control/demand destructive groups, not to mention all of his tremendous educational work in the field.
If you have not read his books yet, we highly recommend them, especially his latest entitled "Combating Cult Mind Control: 25th Anniversary Edition". If you have just left a destructive group or are considering joining a new group of some kind, or have a family member trapped in a cult group, the information contained in this book could just save your life or that of your loved one.
