Who spoke at the conference?
Valerie Sinason (retired child psychotherapist, and adult psychoanalyst) spoke about her 30 years in the field of ritual abuse, mind control and dissociation. She answered the questions: Is there any improvement in police and professional response to such allegations? How much credence is given to deniers and purveyors of misinformation? https://ritualabuse.us/smart/valerie-sinason/
Neil Brick (survivor and researcher of severe abuse) discussed the modern false memory syndrome movement in the US. He compared this movement to the movement in the 1990s. He verified that both movements use false theories about memory implantation, promote pseudoscientific theories about memory and dissociation and harass trauma victims. His newsletter has been published for over 27 years. https://ritualabuse.us http://neilbrick.com
