Cultic Studies Review
Cultic Studies Review
(CSR) is a triennial Internet journal of research, news, and opinion
published by ICSA.
Although designed as an Internet journal, Cultic Studies Review
is also available in an abridged print version. ICSA members receive the
Web and print editions of CSR as a benefit of membership. Student
members receive the Web edition.
A distinguished editorial board reviews and recommends articles
published in Cultic Studies Review.
Cultic Studies Review seeks to advance the understanding of
cultic processes and their relation to society, including broad social
and cultural implications as well as effects on individuals and
families. The term “cultic processes” refers to manipulative forms of
social influence observed most conspicuously, though not exclusively, in
certain extremist groups, and is directly related to the research
traditions of thought reform and the psychology of social influence.
CSR assumes that a multidisciplinary perspective is necessary for
the proper understanding of its areas of interest and, consequently,
publishes articles from different disciplines and points of view. CSR
will consider articles dealing with any aspect of CSR’s areas of
interest, whether directly or indirectly.
