Integrative Psychology in Melbourne recently released a detailed document that reviews the treatment options for people that are recovering from high-control abusive groups like Shiva Yoga (Mount Eliza Ashram), entitled “Recovery from Church, Institutional and Cult Abuse: A Review of Theory and Treatment Perspectives.”

Some of the chapters discuss the common characteristics of abusive groups and how they operate, the characteristics of cult leaders as well as a review of effective exit counseling options. It is highly recommended reading for ex-members of Shiva Yoga (Mount Eliza Ashram). You can access it here and from the resources page:
