S.R. Kade

S.R. Kade writes about coercive control and cult literacy: how high-control dynamics work, how to recognise them, and how to keep thinking for yourself inside a group that asks a great deal of you.

The books share one instrument. A seven-question Mirror Test, with six red flags, four green flags, and five self-traps, is built in the first volume from the clinical literature on thought reform, and each later book runs it against a different subject. The method is the same throughout: describe patterns rather than people, quote named living sources only from their own on-record words, and offer criteria a reader can apply instead of verdicts.
