Cults of personality |
Luigi Corvaglia (1966–) is an Italian psychologist and expert on cults and mind manipulation. He is chairman of the Italian association CeSAP (Centro Studi Abusi Psicologici)[1] and member of the Administrative Board of the Scientific Committee of FECRIS (European Federation of Centres of Research and Information on Sectarianism).
Luigi Corvaglia is a free thinker[2] who uses the same arguments the cult apologists use (freedom of belief, free choice, etc.) to demonstrate the contradictions and the inconsistency of their reasoning. Luigi Corvaglia has dedicated himself to unmasking the psychological tricks used by cult apologists to defend high-control groups, underlining the contradictions posed by academics who claim to defend the civil rights and freedoms of the individual, while in reality defending totalitarian groups that deny those rights and freedoms to their members.
