ICSA's Mission: The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) provides information, education, advocacy, and support to those adversely affected by or interested in cultic and other high-control groups and relationships. Grounded in a foundation of ethical principles, research-based knowledge, and a commitment to education, we serve as an open, professional, nuanced, and egalitarian resource for professionals, survivors, families, researchers, and the public. We embrace diversity, dialogue, respect, freedom, and inclusivity in all our endeavors.
