In 1996, [[Landmark Education]] sued Singer for [[defamation]].{{ r | PNT_2000-10-19 }} Singer mentioned Landmark Education in ''[[Cults in Our Midst|Cults in our Midst]]''; it was unclear whether she labeled Landmark Education as a [[cult]] or not.

Amanda Scioscia reported in the ''[[Phoenix New Times]]'' that Singer never called Landmark a cult, but that she described it as a "controversial [[New Age|new age]] training course". She also stated that she would not recommend the group to anyone, and would not comment on whether Landmark used [[coercive persuasion]] for fear of legal [[recrimination]] from Landmark.<ref name=PNT_2000-10-19>{{cite news|last1=Scioscia|first1=Amanda|title=Drive-thru Deliverance|url=http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2000-10-19/news/feature_print.html|publisher=Phoenix Times|date=19 October 2000|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016160332/http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2000-10-19/news/feature_print.html|archive-date=October 16, 2006 }}</ref>
