Alpay: "The Profile of Likely Recruits": The Profile of Likely Recruits Family or social conflicts often contribute to a person’s decision to join a cult. The group is a shelter from the aggression that has been felt and it provides a model of conflict resolution that intellectually satisfies the follower. He refuses any self-analysis and transfers all responsibility onto the external world, and more particularly onto the social or family unit. Entry into a cult is often a way of responding to the social pressures to establish one’s autonomy from the family, especially during adolescence. Sometimes this move is taken in response to crisis situations — divorce, job loss, mourning — or to a disturbance of what used to be “normal,” either personally, or within the family. Going into a cult, in such cases, serves a pseudo-therapeutic function. This element of “asking for help” makes CCs take a strong aggressive stance with regard to recognized psychiatrists and psychotherapists, who are the only ones likely to bring the subject to a real analysis of his actions and his responsibility in family and social conflicts.
