Re: A Clinician’s Guide to Working With Former Members and Families
Thanks Hope4. I've just had a look at the ICSA website. I thought I already knew what it was but it's different than what I had in mind, so I must have been thinking of another organisation. The International Journal of Coercion, Abuse, and Manipulation looks promising. Thanks again!

My only regret is that I didn't speak up sooner, either here or elsewhere. In my [poor] defense, I was going through something akin to a nervous breakdown (weren't we a...
