Captive Hearts, Captive Minds: Freedom and Recovery from Cults and Other Abusive Relationships is a study of

Ph.D., and Michael Langone. It was published by Hunter House Publishers in 1994. In 2006, the book was reissued as Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships.[1]

In her book

Mary Alice Chrnalogar cites Captive Hearts, Captive Minds and adds a note that the book is "excellent for former New Agers".[2]

The work is extensively cited in Dennis Tourish and

Marlene Dixon.[3]

Robert L. Snow cites the work in his book,

Sullivanians."[4]

Captive Hearts, Captive Minds is also cited by Philip Jenkins in his book Mystics and Messiahs: Cults and New Religions in American History, in the chapter "Overrun with Messiahs",[5] but it is not clear that he agrees with the authors' analysis.

As the title would suggest, Captive Hearts, Captive Minds falls squarely within the category of books whose authors adopt

new religious movements attribute free will
and informed choice to the participants, and challenge the captivity/abuse model put forward by the authors here.

Reception

Writing for Library Journal, Bill Piekarski believes that the book "succeeds as an ambitious, comprehensive explanation of the cult experience and works well on several levels". He recommended it for public and religious libraries.[6]

Some

exit counselor Carol Giambalvo agrees with Hampton, saying that Part III of the book "lacks an account by a former member of a Bible-based, discipling/shepherding group", but argues that it is generally an "extremely helpful book".[8]
