Abstract

Studying the lifeworld of victims and followers of deviant movements and sects requires a structured methodology and principles to assist therapists in the pre-treatment phase. The "lifeworld" refers to the mental frameworks and awareness formed in response to events and temporal circumstances, which create the contexts and foundations that govern an individual's subsequent behaviors. To gain sufficient insight into the causes and contexts of ideological deviation or illness, the therapist must first study the patient's lifeworld, akin to conducting tests or imaging in medical sciences. In this process, various dimensions of the lifeworld are examined in detail: the world of therapy, the world of the patient, the world of conflicts, the world of commonalities, and "the other world" as the sectarian lifeworld. The "other world," considered the fifth world, focuses on analyzing the type of illness after understanding its causes and context. These steps provide the foundation and framework necessary for the therapist to initiate the treatment process. Acknowledging the importance of studying the lifeworld of sectarian victims as a prerequisite for effective therapeutic intervention, this article addresses the central question of how such a study should be conducted. Employing an applied-developmental research approach, it seeks to provide answers to this critical inquiry.
