An Overview of
  An Integrated Model of Ultra-Authority  

The following is a very abbreviated outline of the Integrated Model. It consists of the three main factors (the 3T's) of extreme manipulation: Toeholds (vulnerabilities), Techniques (tools used), and Time (development of the manipulative relationship). These three factors are all active at the same time in an intertwining mesh of extreme manipulation. Please note that ultra-authority is a form of extreme manipulation in which the goal of the manipulator is complete control over the life of their victim. Other levels of manipulation may not be as comprehensive, but the same factors are still involved and at work.

More information about and real life examples of the Integrated Model can be found in the book, People Who Play God.
