When We First Started Working with Incest, It Seemed To "When we first started working with incest, it seemed to be a terrible but rare occurrence; and then the dam burst, and the frightening reality of both its frequency and the damage done engulfed us. Now it's ritual abuse. Our first encounters seemed too frightening to be real, and yet now we hear unbelievable and similar stories much too frequently. Ryder's work is a welcome and sorely needed resource for therapists and survivors alike." Pat Mellody, executive director of the Meadows, Wickenburg, Arizona Pia Mellody, author of Breaking Free and co-author of Facing Codependence: What It Is, Where It Comes From, How It Sabotages Our Lives "As a mental health clinician with several years' experience treating child survivors of Satanic ritual abuse, I can recognize the real contribution Daniel Ryder's book will provide those of us who are working in this field. It takes courage to stand up and say, `I believe that this type of abuse occurs.' It takes perseverance to compile a composite of treatment approaches and treatment issues pertinent to Satanic ritual abuse. There is no doubt in my mind that many of the children ritually abused today will turn to substances to blot out their painful memories tomorrow. It is time that clinicians combine their knowledge of the psychodynamic principles of post-traumatic stress disorder with the proven methods of the Twelve Step programs. We are all working together to heal people." Pamela S. Hudson, M.S.S.W., A.CS.W., L.C.S.W., author of Ritual Child Abuse: Discovery, Diagnosis, and Treatment "Anyone working with survivors of ritual abuse will find this book to be a wealth ofof information. Breaking the Circle abounds with helpful insights, no matter what your opinion of Satanism is. Ryder tells you what others are doing, what works for him, and lets you decide for yourself. I recommend this book highly. The Reverend Dr. John L. Spangler, M.Div., D.S.T. Green Bay, Wisconsin "An excellent book-must reading for every psychotherapist and counselor. And if you are like me, hug your fear and read it anyway!" Janet Hurley, MA., licensed marriage and family therapist, founder and co-director of TASK (Take a Stand for Kids), Carmel Valley, California "Many of the dynamics discussed in this book have not been disclosed in any previous forum on the subject. The unsettling `reality' remains that there is a remarkable consistency in the victim/survivor experience as portrayed in this book and the independent findings of a wide range of professionals. I would strongly recommend this book to any professional or significant other who interacts with the victim/survivor." Sgt. Jon Hinchliff, Minneapolis Police Department "Breaking the silence and secrecy surrounding all types of abuse has historically been the key factor that has enabled survivors to seek and obtain professional help. This book is an important resource for professionals to help them identify and understand the signs and dynamics of this previously hidden type of abuse." Ellen Luepker, MS.W., licensed psychologist, co-author of Psychotherapist Sexual lnvolvement with Clients: Intervention and Prevention `Breaking the Circle of Satanic Ritual Abuse is both a mind-blower and a mindhealer-it horrifies, yet heals. It offers tested techniques and Twelve triedand-true Steps for recovery from abuse so terrifying and unthinkable that its shocked-for-life victims can't remember what evils ail them without this kind of help. One valuable component of the book is the author's compassionate and insightful sharing of his own Twelve Step recovery and that of others, as part of working through this extreme trauma." Joe Klaas, MA., author of The 12 Steps to Happiness and Staying Clean ". .. can bring much-needed understanding to therapists, law enforcement officials, and anyone else who questions whether this really happens. I also advise survivors to read this very powerful book-which at times can be quite frightening and bring out the hidden memories, dreams, and flashbacks to aid in the healing process and take back what was theirs in the first place-to be whole. Written by a survivor, this gives me hope that, after being abused throughout my life, I and others like me can mend, change, and build our rainbows for our future." Tammy T., ritual abuse survivor "For me, Ryder has sounded a new classroom bell. But this class is for teachers. We have much to learn in these pages. And the lesson may help us save a new generation of young people, some of whom don't even know they are crying out for our help." A schoolteacher, California "As president of Familes Of Crimes Of Silence, t would not hesitate to recommend this book to therapists who are new to the field of ritual abuses, as well as to parents who find that they have children who were abused in this manner."

It is also dedicated to the therapists, police, social service workers, cult researchers, and friends and families of the victims, who are just as courageously working to expose the abuse, fight back, and support the victims in their recovery. 6161 Because of the sensitive nature of the material and the possible risks to some victims, most of the case example names in the text of this book have been changed. And to further protect their identities and honor client/therapist confidentiality, many of the ex- amples have also been constructed as composites. The first-person stories in the Appendix came to us directly from the survivors, although most have chosen not to use their own names. Recognizing that ritual abuse recovery is just beginning to come into public awareness- and that it is constantly evolving as professionals document and survivors relate their experiences-CompCare Publishers does not endorse any particular ritual abuse therapies, recovery groups, or organizations. Although the dynamics of Twelve Step recovery as it applies to ritual abuse are parts of this book, the book does not represent any one specific Twelve Step ritual abuse group, nor is it connected, except in theory, with the evolving Twelve Step ritual abuse movement. NOTE: Some of the accounts of ritual abuse contained within are quite graphic and may trigger repressed memories and feelings. They may even cue some cult programming- suicide or selfmutilation, for example. It is highly advisable for ritual abuse survivors to develop a strong recovery network when dealing with these issues. Reader's who know or suspect they are ritual abuse survivors and are in therapy would do well to check with their therapists before reading it.

Aparicio Tesis de Licenciatura Noviembre, 2010 1 Introduction A Fringe of Leaves starts, just like two of the most significant events in Australian history - colonisation and immigration- with a journey across the sea. Journeys often entail changes in one’s personality. Sometimes, radical ones. Travellers have always ventured to meet the unexpected in order to find answers to unasked questions having as a consequence a different approach to existence. In A Fringe of Leaves (1976), written by 1973 Nobel Prize- winner Patrick White, the character of Ellen Roxburgh assesses her whole existence through the hardships she faces during her journey to and within Australia.

  • Tour Pack Alfred Jarry’S Ubu Roi in Object Theatre
    THÉÂTRE DE LA PIRE ESPÈCE (CANADA) PRESENTS ADAPTATION FROM TOUR PACK ALFRED JARRY’S UBU ROI IN OBJECT THEATRE www.pire-espece.com UBU ON THE TABLE THE WORLD’S GROTESQUENESS ON A TABLE! or What Happens When a Power-Hungry Vinegar Bottle, Hammer and Sugar Bowl Fight for the Throne. Two armies of French baguettes face each other in a stand-off as tomato bombs explode, an egg beater hovers over fleeing troops and molasses-blood splatters on fork-soldiers as they charge Père Ubu. Anything goes as Poland’s fate is sealed on a tabletop! Multiple film references spice things up as two performers hammer-out a small-scale fresco of grandiose buffoonery. UBU IN OBJECT THEATRE Ubu is undeniably comfortable surrounded by kitchen utensils that double as gorging tools and weapons to annihilate the “sagouins”. The banality of the objects dramatically underscores the grotesque nature of the characters: Captain Bordure, embodied by a standard hammer, is forever stuck in his rigid stance, forced to repeat the same ridiculous expressions over and over. The Object’s expressive limits force the creators to focus on the dramatic action rather than on the psychological development of the characters. The actor-puppeteers (in full view) appeal to the audience’s intelligence and imagination by conveying a second degree to the storyline. OVER 900 PERFORMANCES This adaptation of Ubu Roi has garnered much praise – the objects’ raw form and the performance’s frenetic pace are perfectly suited for Alfred Jarry’s cruel farce. Since its creation, the show has been performed over 900 times in 15 COUNTRIES (Canada, France, Germany, U.K, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Belgium, Turkey, Cuba, Finland).

Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) is a complementary approach with a small, but growing body of evidence. The purpose of this research study was to explore the processes of Rosen Method Bodywork to develop a theoretical framework about what occurs over the course of receiving sessions RMB, both within the recipient and between the recipient and the practitioner. In this grounded theory study, data from interviews of twenty participants was analyzed and a theoretical model of the overall process of RMB was constructed. The model consists of the five integrative phases through which these participants moved within the iterative RMB process from Feeling Stuck and Disconnected to Feeling Connected. Mindfulness is observed to be a central component of the RMB process which participants describe as helpful for trauma recovery.

  • William Baldwin
    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE POSSESSION KIND As you read this volume, be prepared to meet otherworldly beings in a form never before imagined. There are alien colonists, alien scientists, alien castaways, alien/human hybrids, and many others. There are many nonphysical, unearthly beings who impose mind control at a whole new level, revealing a sinister side of the UFO phenomenon previously regarded as absurd and only hinted at in other books. In acknowledgment of his pioneering exploration of science and spirit in his groundbreaking work, Spirit Releasement Therapy: A Technique Manual, Dr. William j. Baldwin was honored with the 1994 Franklin Loehr Memorial Award by the International Association for New Science in Ft. Collins, Colorado. He has received other awards for lifetime achievement and contribution to the transpersonal field in the tradition of bridging Mind, Body, and Spirit. Now Dr. Baldwin further expands his fascinating explorations into consciousness and documents what many hundreds of clients have discovered in clinical session. CE-Vl: Close Encounters of the Possession Kind catapults the reader into the many-layered realms of human consciousness and experience, revealing unwanted intrusions by alien "others." This kind of ET/UFO encounter appears to be nonphysical yet every bit as intrusive as the well-known abduction scenario. Addressing the heart of the matter, CE-Vl illuminates a path for overcoming fear, and embracing the fresh, eternal, indestructible light of human freedom.

DAVID M. POMFRET “CLOSER TO GOD”: CHILD DEATH IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE INTRODUCTION In recent times the historiography of death has expanded considerably, but dead children have rarely been its central focus.1 The same could be said of research in the history of children and youth. Though this field witnessed an early flourish of interest from demographic theorists and historians of the family in parental responses to early mortality, in the last few decades it has generally been haunted by the dead child’s absence.2 After the controversy sur- rounding Philippe Ariès’s “parental indifference hypothesis” faded, historians of childhood prioritized efforts to uncover the values adult societies attached to “child life” or to recapture the agency of living children. This relative neglect of the dead child may owe something to the fact that death has been, statisti- cally, in decline as an aspect of children’s experience in modern times.

  • Braiding the Dreamscape
    Braiding the Dreamscape by Cathie Sandstrom It's dark on purpose so just listen. Lawrence Raab, “Visiting the Oracle” The doors into the gallery were massive: 10 feet tall and 3 inches thick. But when I pressed my palm against one, it opened with so little effort I remembered turning a 19th century lighthouse lens on a frictionless mercury float. At the slightest nudge from my finger, the 4- metric-ton lens rotated. I felt that same sense of wonder at the door’s surprising weightlessness as I slipped inside into a dream-like darkness broken only by pools of light. Illuminated free-standing glass cases held sculpted figures taken as if from someone’s dreamscape. Each one held a fragment of narrative but offered no answers, only caused questions to rise. In Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung says, “The crucial thing is the story.” As I moved from case to case through four rooms, I felt compelled to braid the images into a narrative I could understand. I wanted to know why I was so affected by this exhibit, why I was so drawn to it. I went back to it over a dozen times looking for a thread of story to help me navigate its mystery. Each time I entered the gallery that odd, mute, all-my-senses-on-stalks feeling would enfold me and silence would descend over me like a glass bell. The works in the gallery were by artist and sculptor John Frame, who had been jolted awake from a dream in the middle of the night.
