Abstract

A salient characteristic of totalist groups is the alienation/estrangement of their members from outsiders, including members' families. The family alienation can be exacerbated by family attempts to "rescue” the group member. A twelve-point model is introduced to help families of totalist group ex-members in the process of psychological reintegration.
