The Making of a Moonie

Choice or Brainwashing?

by Eileen Barker

Barker's study of the Unification Church in Britain followed hundreds of people who attended its recruitment workshops. She found that few joined and most of those soon left, challenging the brainwashing model. A landmark of empirical research on new religions.
