This personal yet scholarly journey into the confusing and
clandestine world of ritual abuse survivors sheds light on their
catastrophic experiences and their efforts to heal afterward.
Revised, updated, and expanded, this third edition of a classic
study is one of the most authoritative and evenhanded volumes to
tackle its hotly debated subject matter. Incorporating the authors'
firsthand observations, the book provides historical,
anthropological, and psychological context for contemporary reports
of both ritual abuse and ritual crime. In addition to sharing
patient vignettes and a history of cult and ritual abuse in
society, the authors explore fascinating topics related to these
practices, among them what triggers personality shifts for victims
even many years after the abuse has stopped. Importantly, the book
shows how ritual abuse affects society as a whole, influencing
civil and criminal law, politics, legislation, social movements,
social welfare, and psychological theory. It provides unique
insights into the scientific study, forensic investigation, and
implementation of social services for survivors of cult and ritual
abuse, discusses new research and treatment strategies, and
establishes the foundation for a psychological diagnosis to be
called Cult and Ritual Trauma Disorder. Features recalled histories
of ritual abuse and vignettes of patients who have experienced
dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple
personality disorder) Discusses techniques used to create and
manipulate altered states of consciousness Explores how media
sensationalizes and inaccurately depicts ritual abuse Critiques the
argument that ritual abuse stories are the result of false memories
and advances the idea that reports of ritual abuse are understated
Expresses the position that clinicians have an ethical duty to
achieve competence in recognizing and treating the psychological
effects of ritual abuse Concludes that clinicians, lawmakers, law
enforcement, social services personnel, journalists, and others
need to treat allegations of ritual abuse seriously and evaluate
each report on its own merits
