    concerns

    Scientology Control Techniques include:

    Guilt

    Reinforcing the need for 'salvation' by exaggerating the sins of the former lifestyles.

    Peer Group Pressure

    Suppressing doubt and resistance to new ideas by exploiting the need to belong.
    J SP/PTS Course

    Love Bombing

    Creating a sense of family and belonging through hugging, kissing, touching and flattery.

    Verbal Abuse

    Desensitizing through bombardment with foul and abusive language.
    Q

    Hypnosis

    Inducing a state of high suggestibility by hypnosis, often thinly disguised as relaxation or meditation.

    Rejection of Old Values

    Accelerating acceptance of new life style by constantly denouncing former values and beliefs.

    Confusing Doctrine

    Encouraging blind acceptance and rejection of logic through complex lectures on an incomprehensible doctrine.

    Metacommunication

    Implanting subliminal messages by stressing certain key words or phrases in long, confusing lectures.

    Removal of Privacy

    Achieving loss of ability to evaluate logically by preventing private contemplation. An example: Six bunk beds per room at Flag

    Time Sense Deprivation

    Destroying ability to evaluate information, personal reactions, and body functions in relation to passage of time by removing all clocks and watches.

    Disinhibition

    Encouraging child-like obedience by orchestrating child-like behaviour.

    Uncompromising Rules

    Inducing regression and disorientation by soliciting agreement to seemingly simple rules which regulate mealtimes, bathroom breaks and use of medications.

    Replacement of Relationships

    Destroying pre-cult families by arranging cult marriages and 'families'.

    Sleep Deprivation & Fatigue

    Creating disorientation and vulnerability by prolonging mental an physical activity and withholding adequate rest and sleep.

    Dress Codes

    Removing individuality by demanding conformity to the group dress code.

    Chanting and Singing

    Eliminanting non-cult ideas through group repetition of mind-narrowing chants or phrases.

    Group Confession [b cove]

    Encouraging the destruction of individual ego through confession of personal weaknesses and innermost feelings of doubt.

    Confession [auditing]

    Encouraging the destruction of individual ego through confession of personal weaknesses and innermost feelings of doubt.

    Financial Commitment

    Achieving increased dependence on the group by 'burning bridges' to the past, through the donation of assets.

    Finger Pointing

    Creating a false sense of righteousness by pointing to the shortcomings of the outside world and other cults.

    Flaunting Hierarchy

    Promoting acceptance of cult authority by promising advancement, power and salvation.

    Isolation

    Inducing loss of reality by physical separation from family, friends, society and rational references.

    Controlled Approval

    Maintaining vulnerability and confusion by alternately rewarding and punishing similar actions.

    Change of Diet

    Creating disorientation and increased susceptibility to emotional arousal by depriving the nervous system of necessary nutrients through the use of special diets and/or fasting.

    Games

    Inducing dependence on the group by introducing games with obscure rules.

    No Questions

    Accomplishing automatic acceptance of beliefs by discouraging questions.

    Some of the above techniques used in isolation are not necessarily harmful in and of themselves. However, in a psychologically coercive cult environment, they are usually used en masse, in extreme ways and for prolonged periods of time.
