Fear, Love, and Propaganda: Mechanisms of Influence in Cults and Totalitarian Systems
14.99 €
Social psychologist Alexandra Stein spent 10 years in a cult, but was able to free herself from its influence and became one of the world's leading experts on the mechanisms of influence of destructive communities. Her book, which is the result of many years of research, describes the mechanisms of attachment with the help of which cults and totalitarian regimes control people's minds.

Stein describes in detail how social isolation and psychological pressure gradually transform a person's personality, leading to blind obedience and a willingness to act against their will and interests. The author shows, using numerous examples, how love and fear become instruments of control and submission.

An important part of this book is the chapters devoted to strategies for protecting personal freedom and dignity, developed taking into account the personal experience of people who have been subjected to psychological manipulation.
