“There were a total of 27 survivors of ritual abuse who all
contributed in some way to this book… All of them gave
something precious of themselves to it… They contributed for
the sole reason of trying to raise awareness in society about ritual
abuse and in the hope of helping other
survivors.”
Fight!
Rabbit! Fight! : Stories About Ritual Abuse by
Laurie
Matthew £
"This book is designed to try and make it easier to
understand some of the issues of ritual abuse... [and] to help
people have more understanding of some of the problems that
survivors of ritual abuse experience... Though the stories appear to be
written like children's stories, they are not intended for
children".
The Politics
& Experience of Ritual Abuse : Beyond Disbelief by
Sara Scott £
The author offers insights into why ritual abuse has become
such a contested issue, while enabling the reader to explore the
meaning of the term for themselves through first-person
accounts. Drawing on her research with adults who have
identified themselves as survivors, the author argues that the
wholesale dismissal of such accounts as "false memories"
produced by a "moral panic" may be somewhat
premature.
Resistance
: A Ritual Abuse Survivor Speaks Out by
Mary Smith £
A survivor tells her story of ritual abuse and healing, in a
moving and informative mix of prose and poetry. Her courage
and strength shine through. "...I wanted to put out
some signposts for those survivors starting the hard and
uncharted journey of recovering the memories of hell that are
paradoxically healing, or those who might like another's account
of what we have survived."
Safe Passage To
Healing :
A Guide to Survivors of Ritual Abuse by
Chrystine Oksana £
“If you know
or suspect that you are a survivor of ritual abuse, you are not
alone… There is lots of companionship, survivor to survivor,
in these pages. Survivors share the pain and despair of the early
stages, and ways in which they found courage and strength. No matter
how severe your circumstances, you will find that healing is possible.
There is hope.”
Where
Angels Fear : Ritual Abuse in Scotland by
Laurie
Matthew £
"If anyone is hoping to read horror stories in this book, forget it.
They quite simply are not there. My aim is to expose the
abusers and their actions as much as possible, and provide as
much information as I possibly can about how the whole thing works,
what they do... what it does to survivors and how people can
help survivors."
Who Dares
Wins by
Laurie's Army (Dundee
Young Women's Centre) £
"Despite all the odds, survivors of ritual abuse are
beginning to speak out about their experiences, and some
people... are beginning to listen to them and support them. This
book is an attempt to break down the isolation of survivors
and supporters of survivors. It is also an attempt to give
useful information and raise awareness of the issues involved so
that the secrecy surrounding this sort of abuse can be
broken." By a worker with 20
years experience.
