Director of Cult Counselling
Australia, a not for profit
organization established in
1991 and is considered the
foremost authority on the
issue of cults and fringe
religious groups in
Australia. He appears
regularly in the media and
has served as a consultant
to the Australian government
in dealing with cult issues.
Raphael's work includes
court appearances, the

(Harper Collins 1999,)
Believe: From Addiction to
Redemption (Fontaine
