"Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves" (2000) is Steven Hassan's second work. It discusses Hassan's theories on mind control and cults.

Hassan wrote:
* cult indoctrination superimposes a new cult identity that suppresses and controls the individual's authentic identity

According to Arthur A. Dole, Hassan's Strategic Interaction Approach " ... stresses love, respect, freedom of choice, customized planned action fitted to the individual with the family as key participants, psychotherapy, and applied social psychology.

Reviews

Philip Zimbardo, former president of the American Psychological Association writes: [http://www.freedomofmind.com/resourcecenter/books/rtbpraise.htm "Praise For "Releasing The Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves"] , Freedom of Mind Center]

:"Steven Hassan's approach is one that I value more than that of any other researcher or clinical practitioner. Hassan is a model of clear exposition, his original ideas are brilliantly presented in a captivating style. I am confident that readers of his new book will share my enthusiasm for what this author tells us about how to deal with the growing menace of cults."|20px|20px|Philip Zimbardo, Stanford University

Anton Hein, publisher of the [http://www.apologeticsindex.org "Apologetics Index"] , [ [http://www.apologeticsindex.org/books/releasingbonds-01.html "Summary Review: Releasing The Bonds"] , Anton Hein, publisher, " [http://www.apologeticsindex.org Apologetics Index] ] writes:

In what may well turn out to be the definitive handbook on cult intervention, Hassan presents his "Strategic Interaction Approach (SIA)" - a non-coercive, highly effective counseling system refined over the twelve years since he wrote the best-seller, "Combatting Cult Mind Control". This tried-and-true approach has none of the drawbacks of involuntary deprogramming or voluntary exit-counseling.
