Clinical Correlates of Alleged Satanic Abuse and Less Controversial Sexual Molestation.
Leavitt, Frank
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v18 n4 p387-92 Apr 1994
This study found that 39 women alleging satanic ritual abuse and 47 women reporting less controversial forms of sexual trauma as children were characterized by high but nondiscriminating levels of psychiatric pathology. Patients alleging satanic ritual abuse reported higher levels of dissociation, in the range often exhibited by patients with multiple personality disorders. (Author/JDD)
