Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse, organised abuse, sadistic abuse and other variants) refers to a moral panic that originated in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout the country and eventually to many parts of the world, before subsiding in the late 1990s. Allegations of SRA involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of individuals in the context of occult or satanic rituals. At its most extreme definition, SRA involved a world-wide conspiracy involving the wealthy and powerful of the world elite in which children were abducted or bred for sacrifices, pornography and prostitution. Nearly every aspect of SRA was controversial, including its definition, the source of the allegations, proof, testimonials of alleged victims, court cases involving the allegations and criminal investigations. The panic impacted how legal, therapeutic and social work professions dealt with allegations of child sexual abuse. Allegations initially brought together widely dissimilar groups, including religious fundamentalists, police investigators, child advocates, therapists and clients in psychotherapy. The movement gradually secularized, dropping or deprecating the "satanic" aspects of the allegations in favor of names that were less overtly religious such as "sadistic" or simply "ritual abuse" and becoming more associated with dissociative identity disorder and government conspiracy theories. The panic was based on reports from children and adults using therapeutic and questioning techniques now considered illegitimate, with initial publicity generated by the discredited autobiography Michelle Remembers, and sustained and popularized by the McMartin preschool trial. Testimonials, symptom lists, rumors and techniques to investigate or uncover memories of SRA were disseminated through professional, popular and religious conferences, as well as through the attention of sensationalist talk shows, sustaining and spreading the moral panic further throughout the United States and beyond. In some cases allegations resulted in criminal trials with varying results; after seven years in court, the iconic McMartin trial resulted in no convictions for any accused, while other cases resulted in lengthy sentences. Scholarly interest in the topic slowly built, eventually resulting in the conclusion that the phenomenon was a moral panic. Official investigations produced no evidence of conspiracies or the slaughter of thousands of babies and children in bloody sacrifices. In the latter half of the 1990s interest in SRA declined and skepticism became the default position, with only a minority of believers giving any credence to the existence of SRA.

In the early 1990s, surveys conducted in the United States and Canada showed a majority of psychiatrists had not made the diagnosis or even seen a case of MPD.[6] These results suggest that the high figure for the disorder is best explained by the fact that a small… [cont.] Asked by Untranquil - Mon Oct 27 16:14:38 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. Multiple Personality Disorder has been replaced by Dissociative Identity Disorder. Both essentially mean the same thing..two or more personalities in a single person. And yes, the diagnosis is in the DSM. I don't think any physician would diagnose patients based on religious views and beliefs. I don't think exorcisms are done all that often, especially in the Catholic church. Answered by theonlyanswer - Mon Oct 27 17:46:42 2008 Is the child abuse carried out by the Catholic clergy more heinous because Catholics are more deeply addicted? Q. All religious people are addicted to whatever feeling they get when they pray to their imaginary god or perform some bizarre ritual associated with their religion. However, some religious people are more deeply addicted than others. I think it s fair to say that Catholics are pretty deeply addicted, more so than the average Jesus addict. Therefore, is a Catholic clergyperson taking advantage of this to abuse children and expect to get away with it, more heinous than child abuse that goes on in other religions? Asked by Desiree - Fri Mar 26 18:40:45 2010 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. Catholics are more naive. They leave their kids in the care of a man in a robe who swore celibacy. If that's not asking for trouble, I don't know what is.

Q. My client also has ritual abuse programming (trans-generational) intact. He is unaware at many levels of this programming. I am cautious; to say the least! I am a newly certified Hypnotherapist, seeking any advice, leads or recommendations available. I appreciate any and all input. Asked by hypnochick - Fri Nov 30 18:33:17 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hello Abigail As a fellow hypnotherapist I would suggest that you do not take on this client. This client would benefit from an experienced therapist, not necessarily a hypnotherapist. Maybe the best that you can do is to advise client to go for a Dr's referral to a traditional therapist, but help the client yourself with relaxation techniques so that they can keep their mind clear.
