Similar patterns of manipulation, image control, and projection are visible in the public histories of figures like David Miscavige, Andrew Wakefield, Kenneth Copeland, Mark Driscoll, and David Wolfgang. By comparing these individuals, we can better understand the psychological architecture of Stephens’ actions and their impact on family and community.
