The "Moonies": a psychological study of conversion and membership in a contemporary religious sect
Galanter M; Rabkin R; Rabkin J; Deutsch A
The authors undertook this study to enhance psychiatric understanding of contemporary charismatic religious sects. After a pilot study, a representative sample of members of the Unification Church (N = 237) completed a 216-item structured questionnaire. Respondents were below the mean for an age- and sex-matched group on a psychological general well-being scale, and they reported significantly greater neurotic distress before conversion. The authors discuss correlates of an improved emotional state following conversion and employ attribution theory, drawn from social psychology, to put the conversion process into a psychiatric perspective

The "relief effect": a sociobiological model for neurotic distress and large-group therapy
Galanter M
The author discusses the new discipline of sociobiology. He develops the hypothesis that relief of neurotic distress may be associated with experiencing social affiliation and presents data that demonstrate a decline in neurotic symptom intensity in individuals who joined a cohesive religious sect. Anthropological and ethological evidence for the adaptive value of this 'relief effect' provides a basis for the evolution of this trait. The author proposes a corresponding model for psychotherapy in large groups
