books, self help
the are books available on cult deprogramming, and a bit of google work should give you a list and a bunch of reviews
for instance I found this one
http://www.freedomofmind.com/...cecenter/books/rtb-intro.htm
on Releasing The Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves, by Steven Hassan, which has a lot of material on-line
amazon.com usually has reviews of books by people who have read them, and in this case the re are 6 reviews by customers with several different perspectives.
You may want to explore this topic together.
I can also put you in touch with someone who has been through this as well.

don't dismiss deprogramming too quickly. many techniques used for "brainwashing" are also used by religions -- studying about it may show you how applicable it is. but do not force issue.
