That's the undercurrent of this conversation with noted cultic studies expert Alexandra Stein, PhD.
A survivor of a political cult in the '90s, Alexandra has become a writer and educator specializing in the social psychology of ideological extremism and other dangerous relationships.

If you're worried about the rise of extremism in political and civic life, this one's for you.
