Hassan details his groundbreaking approach, the Strategic Interactive Approach, which can be used to help a loved one. Step-by-step, Hassan shows you how to evaluate the situation, interact with dual identities, develop communication strategies using phone calls, letter writing and visits, understand and utilize cult beliefs and tactics, and use reality-testing and other techniques to promote freedom of mind. He emphasizes the value of meeting with trained consultants to be effectively guided and coached and also to plan and implement effective interventions.
