. Although Dr. Ross has found no evidence of a widespread Satanic network, he is open to the possibility that a certain percentage of his patients' memories may be entirely or partially historically accurate. In treatment, he recommends that the therapist adopt an attitude hovering between disbelief and credulous entrapment.
Describes the impact of ritual abuse on children, including the formation of multiple personalities, looks at the individuals and groups practicing ritual abuse, and explains what can be done to rescue abuse victims
People who have survived ritual abuse or mind control experiments have often been silenced, accused of lying, mocked and disbelieved. Clinicians working with survivors often find themselves isolated, facing the same levels of disbelief and denial from other professionals within the mental health field. This report - based on proceedings from a conference on the subject - presents knowledge and experience from both clinicians and survivors to promote understanding and recovery from organized and ritual abuse, mind control and programming. The book combines clinical presentations, survivors' voices, and research material to help address the ways in which we can work clinically with mind control and cult programming from the perspective of relational psychotherapy.
Compassion, sensitive, and non-triggering, Reaching the Light is a step-by-step guide to understanding, effectively dealing with, the impact of ritual and cult abuse.
Allegations of ritual abuse are universal and 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 (eight countries, seven states in the U.S.) * 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 discredited whenever 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 current issues including ritually based crime, civil suits involving allegations of ritual abuse, that are universal. The value of understanding ritual trauma for diagnostic and treatment applications is discussed.
Explains how sexuality and blood sacrifice have been used in both religious ritual and ritual abuse. Using a number of victims' stories to illustrate his conclusions, Lockwood draws the connection between ritual abuse and Multiple Personality Disorder as well as offering readers the resources needed to handle the problems associated with it.
The lives of untold multitudes of people have been deleteriously affected by satanic ritual abuse-a kind of abuse that intentionally implants demons in its victims to keep them controlled and in bondage to the Devil. Without help these people will spend a lifetime battling these unseen entities. Victory is elusive due to the secrecy that pervades it. This book lifts the cover off that secrecy by disclosing a deeply spiritual interpretation of the battles between the king of the north and the king of the south in Daniel 11. Commonly Scripture is understood historically and outwardly, but there is also an inward and spiritual understanding that lies just beneath the surface. This spiritual view is seen here when we remember that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spirits of wickedness in high places. Just as there are presidents and kings in this world, they also exist in the unseen world of spirits. In Daniel 11, the king of the north represents a powerful demon of shame that rules in the lives of survivors of abuse. This shame that came in via childhood abuse, keeps them in darkness and depression (north). The king of the south represents the demons that go forth from perpetrators to control their SRA victims from a distance. This understanding comes from Jesus' words in Luke where he says that an unclean spirit goes out of a man and walks through "dry places" (the definition of south in Daniel). This spirit eventually goes and brings in seven other spirits more wicked than himself. The spiritual reality in Satanism today is that a perpetrator who desires more power will send a demon (king of the south) out to go to his SRA victim and bring back some of her/his demons of power (seven spirits more wicked than himself) for his use. Satanists in their rituals call up demons from hell and instill them in their SRA victims. These demons are then accessed for power by the perpetrators in various ways. Satan does not give his most powerful demons directly to a perpetrator. The most powerful ones are instilled in the SRA victim during rituals. In order to access these powerful demons, the perpetrators have to do some evil thing to further ruin the life of their victim who is their living sacrifice. The laws of powerful, successful living in Jesus Christ are revealed in Scripture. The Devil takes these laws and perverts them for his own use. For example regarding power, the Word says: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God..." Romans 12:1). Any Christian who truly walks with God knows that power and victory over the enemy comes when we "die to self" i.e. present ourselves to God as a living sacrifice. Of course, no Satanist is going to die to self for anyone or anything, hence his victim does the daily dying and he gets the powers (demons) through sexual abuse giving him rights to later send forth demons from a distance (king of the south) to use whenever he perceives he needs them. This is why some people in everyday life are sexually abused over and over again by many people. They often have no memory of satanic abuse because they dissociated and because demons block their memories. Every verse in Daniel 11 reveals details of the spiritual forces behind satanic ritual abuse leading up to the coming of the Antichrist. Evil people who want to rule the world through satanic powers must get their power by abusing SRA victims-lots of them. They travel all over the world "on business" and everywhere they go they participate in rituals. They sexually abuse enormous numbers of people. When they want their powers, they send forth their own demons and access power (bring back demons) from all the persons they raped in rituals. This knowledge reveals why pedophilia and human trafficking are so pervasive today. The end of Dan 11 reveals Christians being triumphant over evil world power
