SHAH ALAM – A holistic approach is essential in addressing the recovery of cult survivors, particularly children, as a single type of assessment is inadequate.
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) criminologist and psychologist Associate Professor Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat said that there were several essential steps to help children who have fallen victim to cults.
“First and foremost is conducting a thorough assessment of their experiences, focusing on how much of what they know is rooted in immorality, deviance or harm.
“Since wrongdoing is often all these survivors have known, it is crucial to determine the extent, duration and individuals responsible for their trauma through a comprehensive range of psychosocial, physical, health, religious and criminogenic evaluations.
