ICSA - International Cultic Studies Association

Founded in 1979, the International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) is a global network of people concerned about psychological manipulation and abuse in cultic groups, alternative movements, and other environments. ICSA is tax-exempt, supports civil liberties, and is not affiliated with any religious or commercial organizations.

ICSA's mission is to apply research and professional perspectives to the problems encountered by family members and former group members adversely affected by a cultic involvement and to forewarn those who might become involved in potentially harmful group situations.

ICSA consists of and responds to the needs of people interested in cults, new religious movements, sects, spiritual abuse, and related groups and topics, including:

• researchers
• helping professionals
• former members of cults or related groups
• families of people who are or have been involved in cults or related groups
• educators
• legal professionals
• clergy
• journalists
