Does anyone have any resources that explore how these groups achieve these things? (Especially the process of alienating inductees from friends and family--that's scary stuff.)

It seems like understanding how these systems work would be a prerequisite for protecting your loved ones (or even yourself!).

See also, the Fishman affidavit and a lot of other bits and pieces of the COS internal documents that were leaked or published.
