Why ICSA Does Not Maintain a List of "Bad" Groups

Groups vary significantly and different persons will respond differently to the same group. We urge inquirers to read our essay on definition to avoid the temptation to oversimplify.

We encourage inquirers to consider a variety of opinions, negative and positive, so that inquirers can make independent and informed judgments pertinent to their particular concerns. 

Views expressed at ICSA events or on ICSA Websites are those of the speakers or the document's author(s) and are not necessarily shared, endorsed, or recommended by ICSA or any of its directors, staff, advisers, or supporters.
