Recovering Agency: Lifting the veil of Mormon Mind Control
by Luna Lindsey
The techniques discussed apply to much more than Mormonism, however, and match much of what I was exposed to on the subject of brain washing and interrogation in Military schools. Recovering from religious indoctrination is also a major topic. “Mind Control” may seem at first like a hyperbolic term, but the author is very serious about this, and it seems the term is justified. Anyone recovering from religious indoctrination of any kind, even after many years, may find some value in this.
