YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJoin Dr. Steven Hassan, leading expert on cults LIVE on Monday, October 5, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern, for an in-depth conversation with Keith Wattley, attorney for Patricia Krenwinkel, a former Charles Manson follower recommended for parole after 56 years in prison. Pat Krewinkel is currently California's longest serving inmate.
As Governor Gavin Newsom prepares to decide whether to uphold or reverse her 2025 parole grant, Dr. Hassan will unpack how coercive control, psychological manipulation, and cult mind control shaped Patricia’s actions as a 21-year-old under Manson’s brainwashing and how decades of rehabilitation, trauma recovery, and accountability have changed her life.
In this discussion, Dr. Hassan will connect the lessons of the Manson era to today’s political and social landscape where mind control, disinformation, and cult influence have become more visible than ever in the Trump era. Together, they’ll explore how understanding undue influence can prevent further violence, foster empathy, and promote justice that recognizes both accountability and healing.
UPDATE: We are very disappointed to hear that Krenwinkel has been denied parole, obviously ignoring California’s Parole Board who determined in 2022 and again in 2025 that she represents no danger to anyone- except political careers perhaps.
Topics include:
- How cult indoctrination and coercive control led to the Manson Family murders
- The psychology of manipulation and obedience
- Patricia Krenwinkel’s documented rehabilitation and transformation
- The politics of parole and public opinion in high-profile cases
- Parallels between cult mind control and today’s authoritarian movements
