Episode 24: Coercive Control - What is it?

from Cult Chat Hosted by Cult Chat

What does a woman abused by her intimate partner, a member of a cult group, and a prisoner of war in North Korea in the 1950s all have in common? Listen to today’s episode to find out! As you listen you’ll also learn interesting facts about venn diagrams, storm-troopers and the joys of lawn-mowing. Today’s episode features a culty analysis of 1950’s researcher Albert Biderman’s fascinating, yet chilling, “Chart of Coercion”, with tips from our hosts on how to recognise it in action in a cult. Correction: throughout this episode we repeatedly referenced Biderman’s “Chart of Control” - oops! The correct name of the chart is the “Chart of Coercion”.
