2024 ICSA ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

En Espanol

EARLY REGISTRATION FROM MARCH 15 thru APRIL 15 

JULY 3-6, 2024

BARCELONA, SPAIN

Conference Theme:  Evidence-based Practices in Cult Recovery



ICSA'S NEWEST BOOK IS HERE!


This heartfelt and meaningful book is a groundbreaking way to provide preventive
education about the dangerous intricacies of cultic involvement.

 

The book is totally comprised of writings and artwork from individuals who are
former cult members.  In the book, the writers and artists share the ways in
which cultic involvement impacted their lives and express what they would say to
their younger selves and family members now that they are free from cultic
involvement.  

 

We hope that this book will benefit you, your family and friends, your
acquaintances, and anyone else who is interested in understanding the very
personal nature of cultic abuse. 

 

This book was made possible from generous donors and volunteers.  The board of
directors of ICSA express our gratitude to the donors, writers, and artists who
contributed to this book and to all who continue to support ICSA.  

 

Purchase your copy at the ICSA Online Bookstore

or as an e-book at  BookBaby and most other online booksellers.
