[edit] Reception
Piekarski writes that Tobias and Lalich had both spent time in "restrictive groups", and that their work serves as a comprehensive analysis of the cult experience.[1][verification needed]
In her book, Twisted Scriptures: Breaking Free from Churches that Abuse, Chrnalogar cites Captive Hearts, Captive Minds and adds a note that the book is: "excellent for former New Agers"[2].
[edit] Usage in secondary works
The work is extensively cited in Tourish, and Wohlforth's On the Edge: Political Cults Left and Right, in their chapter on Marlene Dixon[3].
Snow cites the work in his book, Deadly Cults: The Crimes of True Believers, to analyze predisposing factors that might make certain individuals more inclined than others to join cults[4]. Snow cites Lalich and Tobias again later in his work, while discussing the experience of a woman who had been counseled by a therapist that belonged to what Snow referred to as: "..an intensely controlling psychoanalytical cult called the Sullivanians."[4]
Captive Hearts, Captive Minds is also cited by Jenkins as a resource in his book Mystics and Messiahs: Cults and New Religions in American History, in the chapter "Overrun with Messiahs"[5].
