A Much Needed and Timely Resource
Allegations of ritual abuse are universal
Mental Health Professionals, Theologians,
Law Enforcers, Scholars, Victim Advocates, and others
struggle to comprehend the enormity of the devastation left in the wake of these heinous acts.
RITUAL ABUSE IN THE TWENTY~FIRST CENTURY
addresses the
concerns that naturally evolve from any discussion of this phenomenon
from the perspectives of professionals,
advocates, and survivors from around the world.
How valid are the survivors' stories?
Is there evidence?
What are the consequences of these acts to the individual and
society?
Why have these allegations
been ignored or dicredited when they have surfaced?
The authors of these chapters
respond to these and other questions in an effort to illustrate the constellation of psychological,
health, legal, criminal, societal, and spiritual ramifications of ritual abuse.
Chapters address universal issues, including civil
suits involving allegations of ritual abuse, and ritually based crime.
The value of understanding ritual trauma for diagnostic and treatment applications is discussed.
