Herbert L. Rosedale

Herbert L. Rosedale (died November 4, 2004) was an anti-cult activist. Director of the AFF (renamed ICSA), he worked closely with others to assert their belief of "cults" as manipulative, self-serving organizations which harm their hapless recruits. Rosedale denied the existence of the anti-cult movement.
He gave speeches at the American Psychological Association, The New School in New York City, Columbia University School of Journalism, and the Association of Private Enterprise Education. Rosedale was counsel for the New York City Jewish Community Relations Council Task Force on Cults and Missionaries and the New York Interfaith Coalition of Concern About Cults.
