520 |a Why do people join New Religious Movements? After discussing and refuting the theory that members suffer from mental illness, the theory of deprivation is examined. Although the theory of relative deprivation has a number of problems as a social theory, it is argued that in some cases potential converts do experience a feeling of deprivation and therefore it is useful as a psychological theory of conversion. The concept of existential deprivation is elucidated. The paper ends with a discussion of the conversion process.
