Ted Patrick is an American deprogrammer, an activity which includes assisting families by abducting family members with the purpose of persuading or forcing them to renounce a religious group. According to a 1979 article in the Washington Post, Patrick styled himself as "Black Lighting". However, anti-cult activists Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman state in their 1978 book Snapping, that cult leaders gave him that moniker (Conway & Siegelman 1995).
