Patrick J. McKallick had a very difficult childhood that led him eventually to join an appalling cult. What he has to say about how cults capture people and how hard it is for cult members to free themselves is fascinating. And his book, The Face of the Iguana, is the gripping, exciting, and even surprisingly lighthearted story of how he rescued himself from the cult and from his own difficult past and made something very positive and beautiful of his life by becoming a noted mental health clinician and trainer of others who work in the field of mental health. Patrick’s life and his work are inspirational!
