Margaret Singer Recovery from Cults 1991 1hr:10min
Margaret Thaler Singer, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist
and emeritus adjunct professor at the University of California,
Berkeley, has counseled and interviewed more than 3,000 current
and former cult members and their relatives and friends.
These videos present her views on cults.

What is a Cult? and How Does it Work?
What are cults
How do cults operate
How many people are involved in cults
What are cult leaders’ goals and methods
How cults recruit
What is thought reform
Inside the group
Development of a cult pseudo identity
Returning to the outside world

Margaret Singer is of Irish origin see below and look again at the first video.

Margaret Bridget  ? We do not have her maiden name?…

came from a large Irish Catholic family ……. @3.50 minutes in.

She points to the bottle of Bushmill’s Irish whiskey she’d just clanked down on the middle of the table, eyes sparkling behind her oversize spectacles.

……….It’s that Irish gab thing, I suppose,” she’ll tell you with a grin.

She was raised an only child in Denver, where her Army sergeant father got a post military job as chief operating engineer at the U.S. Mint. Her mother was secretary to a federal judge.

“She’s a lot more fun than most people ever know,” Lalich says. “She’s got that Irish knack of storytelling – who could have guessed that in such a warrior?”

  1. DI Moderation We will delete you foul language and your abuse of an old person.
    What has any of this irrelevant xxxx from Dr Marg Bridget Thaler Singer have to do with The House of Prayer? The old girl xxxxxxxxx. But I support her shotgun attitude towards intruders.

  2. Dr.Margaret Singer,whom I know has since passed to her Heavenly Home was a truly gifted, academic lady who shared her tremendous insight into cults, a true legend who assisted so many. The world is a better place because she was in it. I found her speeches inspiring, such an expert. I like her photograph, so beautiful of a dignified aged lady, so natural.

    I take offense with previous comment, in honour of her memory an d on behalf of all elderly people who have contributed so much. Respecjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjosephine osephinet

    What a privilige to hear Dr. Margaret Singer, such an accomplised academic, totally knowledage on Cults who shared so much of her expertise with the world. The world is certainly a better place because she has been in it. How tremendous that she aged so gracefully, putting others first and continuing to impart her knowledge. The photo is beautiful, reminds me of the poem The Velveteen Rabbit – elderly and dignified.

  3. Not only do I agree with you, but will amend this cultist’s comment. He is well known to us, but because we value free speech will just amend his abusive and hateful comments.

  4. Thank you Dialogue Ireland.

    The first thing to say is that for a person involved in a pseudo religious group your use of foul language reveals your spiritual qualities.
    The relevance to the H of P is that as the documentary produced on TV 3 about Cults showed it does not matter what the content or the beliefs of the group involved is. It is the same undue influence and loss of personal freedom that ensues.

    You see the difference in beliefs between the Palmarians, The H of P and Scientology, but what that programme showed was the similarity of cultist context of all three. Just the other day I found that here is a connection between one of TQ’s leading associates and the Palmarians. In the early days Quinn used to recruit outside Churches and presented himself as a kind of Jesus figure of Catholic spirituality. He then developed his on form of indulgences where you paid for prayer. Or put another way he did not pray for you but preyed on you. He did not pray for you but preyed on you.

  6. Dear anonymous, I am fully disinterested in the life and works of Dr M.B.Thaler Singer. My comments being to goad this site into continuing statements of defamation …keeping that situation currentuntil the system will move with prejudice

  7. Obviously the anniversary

    massless

    occasion did not help clean up your language. We are not goaded but continue to expose the scam you are at the heart of.
    I assume you are paying loyalties to Clannad to use their music? I would ask Enya as her New Age music would suit. Maire would not be impressed!

    Will be directing our comments to the Catholic Church which is now flagrantly exposed in neglecting its duty.

  8. Keep digging DI….and dont keep making the mistake of thinking you are dealing with spirituality. neiter of us would know the meaning of the word.And your personal accusations are so feeble and ridiculous…I will deal with all that in due course after the big guns clear the way.
