In this clip from my interview with sociologist and cult expert, Dr Janja Lalich, we discussed how the NXIVM cult fits within her description of cult psychology and tactics. She helpfully explains her concept of a cult as a "self-sealing system" and also describes how they function, in terms of psychology and tactics.

"The self-sealing system is essentially a world that's closed in on itself. You're part of this altered reality. You've got the leader, who demands all devotion and all loyalty, no matter what and demands blind followership. Then you have the indoctrination program, which is part of the belief system. You're you're being told by the leader that he or she can take you to some you salvation whatever that might be whether it's political or financial. They're the only one who can take you there. But in order to go there you have to change, you have to transform yourself, and that's what the indoctrination program is all about."
