The Variety of Deconversion Experiences - Contours of a Concept in Respect to Empirical Research

Streib H, Keller B. The Variety of Deconversion Experiences - Contours of a Concept in Respect to Empirical Research. Archive for the Psychology of Religion. 2004;26(1):181-200.This article presents an outline of historical and situational arguments which suggest a focus on deconversion, an outline of conversion research and its consequences for deconversion, and a discussion of extant empirical research on deconversion. The discussion then focuses on the conceptualization of deconversion and compiles the features from which a comprehensive concept of deconversion may emerge. The core features of the deconversion concept which is suggested in this article are complemented by dimensions of diversity which also include a developmental perspective (from the religious styles perspective). This has implications for future research
