       SUMMARY:
       The background of Satanism and typical Satanic activities are
       described. It is noted that contemporary Satanism has three forms:
       solitary Satanists, outlaw cults, and neo-Satanic churches.
       Included in a description of Satanic activities are Heavy Metal
       music and fantasy games, both of which are intensely interesting
       to teenagers. The next section profiles the personality of a
       teenager who might succumb to cult overtures, as well as
       environmental factors which enhance the appeal of cultism. The
       personality profile includes teenagers' identity search; loners
       who are disconnected from family; teenagers without cultural,
       religious, or community values; and powerlessness. Methods for
       recruiting teenagers into Satanism are discussed and it is noted
       that groups of followers are solidified by intimidation, guilt,
       and fear. Finally, a scenario for program planning and
       rehabilitation is presented. It is claimed one of the blocks to
       intervention is the disbelief of the general public. However, it
       is noted that denial of Satanism is inappropriate for people who
       work with vulnerable teenagers. It is recommended that clients are
       stripped of all environmental symbols and are involved in group
       therapy. Family and community involvement, prevention programs by
       school counselors, and school-based mental health counselors are
       recommended.

       SUMMARY:
       At present the most common area for discussion about satanic cults
       is the reality of their existence; opinions vary from total
       acceptance to total disbelief. This chapter presents overview of
       the issues involved in this debate, a useful typology of the
       positions taken by experts in the fields, and a helpful
       integration of these seemingly divergent perspectives. Topics
       include: conceptual confusion in SCS (satanic cult survivor)
       reports; SCS productions as clinical data; the principle heuristic
       hypotheses; the nihilistic hypotheses; the apologist hypotheses.

       SUMMARY: (from the preface)
       When you want to know about violent crime, why not go to the
       violent offenders? I talked and corresponded with violent personal
       offenders, rapists, and murderers. I asked them questions about
       their crimes, motivations, and crime scenes. I combined the
       knowledge I gained from those in prison and on death row with
       theoretical knowledge and my practical experience. This book is a
       product of that endeavor and provides the basic elements of
       profiling. It is not a cook book. In other words, it will not turn
       anyone into a profiler. What it will do is acquaint readers with
       the general principles of profiling, as well as what is needed to
       develop a sociopsychological profile. I believe that experience, a
       thorough knowledge of the social and behavioral sciences (as well
       as criminology), and a knowledge of police investigative
       techniques will serve as a firm base for profiling.

       SUMMARY: (from the jacket)
       This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the cult
       experience. It draws on the clinical expertise of treatment
       professionals and the personal experiences of those formerly
       involved in high-intensity mind-control groups. The book examines
       the history of the cult phenomenon, the nature of mind control,
       the psychological literature on post-cult distress, why people
       leave cults, exit counseling and deprogramming, and how to
       facilitate recovery.
       (It) makes a strong case for the extreme damage that cults can do
       to members physically, as well as psychologically and spiritually.
       There are specific guidelines for different types of counseling:
       psychotherapy, pastoral counseling, psychiatric hospitalization,
       and suggestions for support groups, families and ex-members
       themselves.

       SUMMARY:
       There is a lack of literature in the area of psychological testing
       of cult abuse victims. The purpose of this chapter is to begin to
       fill this gap and to address some of the issues involved in
       conceptualizing and undertaking psychological testing with victims
       of satanic cult abuse. Given that satanic cult abuse involves
       extensive psychological trauma leading to a variety of
       dissociative disorders---including MPD (multiple personality
       disorder), the small but growing body of literature relating to
       psychological test results of MPD and other dissociated states is
       relevant. This set of writings, as well as several other articles
       of significance, which is reviewed.

       SUMMARY:
       This book addresses the problems of adolescent Satanism from a
       psychological viewpoint. It includes the developmental dynamics
       that underlie four different types of young people who become
       involved in Satanism and provides an analysis of risk factors. The
       author critically evaluates the philosophy of Satanism through a
       review of The Satanic Bible, and further appraises the causes of
       Satanism by examining the roles of power, ritual, and dualistic
       thinking in young people's lives. In addition, Moriarty evaluates
       how communication patterns and parenting styles impact on a young
       person's vulnerability to become involved in Satanism. This is
       also the first book to describe the relationship between Satanism
       and suicide. Finally, it closes with ten practical suggestions for
       parents and others that will lead to effective prevention. This
       volume is intended for a wide audience, including parents,
       teachers, clergy, counselors, and other mental health
       professionals, and is a valuable resource for law enforcement
       personnel.

       SUMMARY:
       Through case histories, persuasive arguments and extensive
       documentation, (the authors) attack what they see as a devastating
       trend in psychotherapy, where therapists--under the guise of
       helping their patients--lead them to erroneously believe they have
       unlocked long-buried memories of events about which they have lost
       all knowledge. The problem, say the authors, is that memories
       retrieved, using the techniques of this therapy, are false: the
       events never took place. Yet time and again, over-zeal ous
       therapists have induced vulnerable patients to believe they have
       been victims of years-long brutalization and sexual abuse, often
       by members of their own families, and/or suffer from multiple
       personality disorders.
       (from the preface) (The authors') goal is to prove beyond doubt
       that devastating mistakes are being made within certain therapy
       settings. By relying on the published works of recovered memory
       clinicians for the bulk of (the) evidence, (they) intend to sho w
       that these mistakes are not being made by aberrant clinicians but
       by a substantial group of therapists who have created a movement
       replete with scholarly and how-to books, conferences for
       clinicians, journals, newsletters, and a raft of prominent expert
       s. This work is intended as an expose of a pseudoscientific
       enterprise that is damaging the lives of people in need.

       SUMMARY:
       Misinformation from therapists or books can provide a powerful
       formula for changing a person's entire belief system. That is what
       Victims of Memory is about--how perfectly normal people... could
       come to believe in such horrible delusions (such as being victims
       of incest), and how responsible therapists and critics can bring
       an end to this madness. As an investigative journalist and
       scholar, (the author) has delved into the complicated social,
       cultural, and individual factors that lie behind the accusations.
       Victims of Memory explores a seemingly inexplicable phenomenon,
       one that will engage psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists
       and other s cholars.

       selected papers from a wide variety of disciplines, broadly coveri
       ng contemporary aspects of satanism from the vantage point of
       studies in folklore, cults, religion, deviance, rock music, rumor,
       and the mass media.

       SUMMARY:
       In Out of Darkness, editors David Sakheim and Susan Devine graph
       the intersection of satanic cult activity, a phenomenon cloaked in
       unreality, and the very real and immediate tragedy of child abuse,
       often an attendant evil of ritual wo rship. Culling information
       from forensic experts, law enforcement officials, clergy, and
       psychotherapists and counselors, Sakheim and Devine provide a
       comprehensive overview of the relationship between these two
       realms, including: a history of satanic religions; a forensic
       guide to dealing with claims of ritual abuse; a theoretical model
       of psychological adaptation to severe trauma (and) diagnosis and
       treatment of ritually abused children. Out of Darkness is one of
       the first books to acknowledge the surprising pervasiveness of
       ritual activity, and skillfully reveal the links between it and
       incidences of physical and psychological child abuse.

       Addresses ritual abuse from the standpoint of those patients who

       cults, not only in formalized ceremonies but also on a day-to-day
       basis within the family. Outlines the presentation and recognition
       of patients who report ritual abuse and examines the complex
       treatment issues involved in their rehabilitation.
