Summary: Wild Imagination...Sad But True
Comment: I have seen such overwhelming evidence to support the fact that almost all "ritual abuse" cases WERE indeed caused by mass hysteria and community pressure. So many individuals in these communities were forced not to appear "weak," and jumped on the neighborhood bandwagon to accuse, accuse, accuse.
Nothing is more horrifying than the thought of our children being in peril...but that fear sadly caused a lot of irreversible damage to many innocent people's lives in these cases.
From the Salem Witch trials to the Senator McCarthy insanity to this mess, it seems that every so often the civilized world goes mad. We can learn from it...but not by reading this wrongheaded book.

Summary: Helpful and Harmful
Comment: I think this book can be both helpful and harmful. For me, in the long run, I can say it was helpful. It gave me information that helped me to make sense of unusual childhood trauma. However, the book's claims that there is a widespread conspiracy involving doctors and government officials who worship satan is both harmful and unfounded.
While it is possible that a few people may try to create the perception of a widespread conspiracy to disempower their victims, having therapists "validate" that as truth is wrong. It can set people astray from understanding the true nature of their trauma.
In general, satanic ritual abuse therapy leads people to become more dependant upon their therapists and less trusting of others. Any therapy that does that should be seen as not effective.

Summary: Taken seriously in the '80s, but not anymore
Comment: This book is a comically repellent/fascinating read (in a Weekly World News sort of way), but I have to rate it as poor because it is really trying to cash in on a hoax which damaged some peoples lives during the child abuse witch hunts of twenty years ago. Law enforcement of today doesn't take any of this seriously. The main consumers of these kind of scare stories are typically people who've led very sheltered lives and are attracted to stories of those who violate society's rules in a horrific way. Many of these types fantasize about "recovered memories" and books like this provided them with inspiration/corroboration for their tales of victimhood. A morbidly interesting record of a weird social phenomenon of a bygone era.
