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

Dr. Randall Noblitt (a clinical psychologist and professor of clinical psychology) explained the history of ritual abuse and severe trauma.

He discussed evidence of ritual abuse crimes. https://ritualabuse.us/smart/randy-noblitt/

Wendy Hoffman (survivor and researcher of severe trauma) discussed how she had amnesia for most of her life. She discussed how people live as unaware mind-controlled victims. She explains how you can find out who you are and what your life has been and can be in the future. Her presentation explores some of the benefits of relinquishing slavery and learning who you are. Self-knowledge is the way out. https://ritualabuse.us/smart/wendy-hoffman/
