Why We Need Therapy—and Why It Works
Evolution has woven together genetics, biology, and relationships with minds, tribes, and culture over a vast expanse of time to create a remarkable social organ. This deep history accounts for the profound connections among our bodies, minds, and attachment to others. Due to their very complexity, our brains are extremely vulnerable to dysregulation, dissociation, and emotional distress. Fortunately for us, we possess the tools to heal one anoth…

Making of a Therapist
Ritual Abuse, Multiplicity, and Mind-Control
As a result of the psychologically intolerable nature of their early childhood experiences, victims of ritual abuse frequently develop multiple personality disorder (MPD).

The phenomenon of ritualistic child abuse forces us to consider the relationship between theological notions o…
The ritual abuse of children
Research has indicated that the sexual abuse of children, once thought to be rare, is actually a common phenomenon (Crewdson, 1988). Prevalence estimates of child sexual abuse in the academic literature vary.

Finkelhor reports that 9% of males have h…
