RITUAL ABUSE AND MIND CONTROL

The Manipulation of Attachment Needs

EDITED BY ORIT BADOUK EPSTEIN, JOSEPH SCHWARTZ, RACHEL WINGFIELD SCHWARTZ

BIC Code: Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytical theory (JCAF)

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 of a conference proceedings 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.

Contributors – Ellen Lacter, Sue Richardson, Rachel Wingfield Schwartz, Valerie Sinason and Orit Badouk Epstein.
