Cult and ritual abuse discusses the idea that ritual abuse is an age-old
phenomenon and it is found in many cultures throughout the world. It explores the
many specific psychiatric symptoms caused by ritual abuse, including dissociative
identity disorder. The book gives suggestions for effective ways to deal with the
legal and social problems that can result from this severe form of abuse. A new
diagnosis "Cult and ritual trauma disorder" is proposed in this edition. Cult and
ritual abuse was first published in 1995 with a revised edition in 2000. [1]
The book was co-authored by James Randall Noblitt, a clinical psychologist and the
executive director of a professional organization dedicated to treating survivors
of cult and ritual abuse.[1] Noblitt is a professor and Director of the Psychology
program at Alliant International University.

us who work with satanic ritual abuse (SRA) are grateful for any treatment
oriented materials on the subject. There is so little available and a majority of
those most experienced fail to speak frankly and openly for a variety of reasons.
In this instance, since the author (not his real name) is both a survivor and a
mental health professional, the expectations of insightful revelations are perhaps
greater than they should be. He interviews a number of clinicians and quotes them
liberally as to their own experience with SRA survivors. As a result, embedded
throughout, are little gems of clinical technique and activity....In summary, the
book is worth owning..."

the iceberg of a social phenomenon that, when totally exposed, will rock the core
of societal beliefs."
