Thousands of adults have come forward to report incidents of ritual abuse recalled from childhood. Margaret Smith’s balanced account is one of the few books to explore this taboo subject in depth. She examines personal experiences from fifty-two adult survivors; cult abuse throughout history; the background of perpetrators, brainwashing, and Multiple Personality Disorder; and gives compassionate guidance on the recovery and healing process. It is a caring, comprehensive, and much-needed resource.
