Captive Hearts, Captive Minds: Freedom and Recovery from Cults and Other Abusive Relationships is a nonfiction psychology book dealing with cults, by Madeleine Landau Tobias, Janja Lalich, Ph.D., and Michael Langone. The book was published by Hunter House in 1994.

“	Tobias and Lalich spent a combined total of 24 years in "restrictive groups" (i.e., cults), and both are currently involved in providing post-cult counseling and therapy. Their first collaboration, this book succeeds as an ambitious, comprehensive explanation of the cult experience and works well on several levels.	”
—Bill Piekarski, Library Journal, 1994[1]
