Title: Very helpful book to understand the ritual abuse panic
Product review: An excellent book if you are interested in learning about the Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) moral panic that started in 1980 with the arrival of the novel (presented as a documentary) called "Michelle Remembers." By the mid 1990s, the steam had started to run out of the panic when a decade and a half of dedicated searches by police officers had turned up no evidence of SRA.When recovered memory therapy -- the basis of essentially all of the SRA memories -- was shown to be totally unreliable, the moral panic collapsed.But if you are interested in the reality of child abuse, this book is devoid of useful material; it is just a distraction from the abuse that really exists. I have rated it with one star on this basis.
