Author
Levine is the author of several books, including Radical Departures: Desperate Detours to Growing Up,[4] The Child in the City,[5] Youth and Contemporary Religious Movements: Psychosocial Findings,[6] and Tell Me It's Only a Phase!: A Guide for Parents of Teenagers.[7]
Levine's book Radical Departures is cited in The Canadian Encyclopedia article on new religious movements:
- University of Toronto psychiatrist Saul V. Levine made a study of deprogramming in his book Radical Departures (1984). He concluded that as a means of changing people's views it was not only a failure but positively dangerous. These conclusions were supported by other scholars who provided civil libertarians, religious leaders in established churches and members of new religions with evidence against the practice of deprogramming. As a result it gradually fell into disrepute.[8]
