Ritual Abuse and Mind Control : The Manipulation of Attachment Needs, London, 25th/26th Sept, 2009
Ellen Lacter will be the key note speaker from the US at a forthcoming conference which will explore the contemporary state of affairs with regards to the understanding and treatment of ritual abuse and mind control and will propose a new relational and attachment orientated paradigm for the 21st century. Valerie Sinason will present a Key note speech from the UK perspective. People who have survived ritual abuse or mind control experiments have often been silenced, accused of lying, mocked and disbelieved in society. Clinicians working with survivors often find themselves isolated, facing the same levels of disbelief and denial from other professionals within the mental health field. This conference aims to provide an opportunity to share knowledge and experience from both clinicians and survivors, building links between the UK and the US in moving forward to promote understanding and recovery from organised and ritual abuse, mind control and programming. This field is only just beginning to grow and develop, and we have a great deal to learn from one another. The conference also aims to provide space for debriefing, so that there is an opportunity for smalls groups to meet to process some of the dysregulating and painful issues which will be explored by speakers at the conference. The conference will combine clinical presentations, survivors’ voices, and research material and will be the first conference in the UK to address the ways in which we can work clinically with mind control and cult programming from the perspective of relational psychotherapy. This is also a unique opportunity to hear Ellen Lacter bring up-to-date knowledge from the US on treatment for the impact of mind control experiments and approaches to deprogramming.
