"Most of the book is written by therapists who have lived through a very real trauma themselves: that of slowly coming to believe that the appalling stories they are hearing may be literally true. Some therapists have further paralleled their patients' experience by meeting disbelief or dismissiveness in their professional colleagues. Far from an overeagerness to accept these stories, virtually every contributor describes initial extreme reluctance to believe them, only gradually overborne by the weight of the evidence....we also meet the courage and devotion of many impressive therapists, who have persevered and very often won through, and we are also, very practically, given a great deal of helpful and directly useful information: what to do and who to turn to if we think we may be faced with these issues. This book is not fun, but it is admirable and necessary." http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119961579/abstract</ref> and Survivors of Spiritual Abuse<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20060925195442/http://www.sosa.org/treating.html Review of ''Treating Survivors of Satanist Abuse'' edited by Valerie Sinason]</ref>. ==References== <references/> ==Related Pages== *[[Breaking the Circle of Satanic Ritual Abuse]] *[[Cult and Ritual Abuse]] *[[Extreme Abuse Surveys]] *[[Hell Minus One]] *[[Ritual Abuse]] *[[Ritual Abuse in the Twenty-First Century]] *[[Ritual Abuse Torture]] *[[Satanic Ritual Abuse Evidence and Journal Articles]] ==External Links== *[http://valeriesinason.co.uk/index.html Valerie Sinason's Website] *[http://clinicds.com/ Clinic for Dissociative Studies] *[http://valeriesinason.co.uk/allpublications.html Major publications by Valerie Sinason] *[http://valeriesinason.co.uk/3.html Valerie Sinason - Dissociative Identity Disorder]
