"Ritualistic abuse refers to organised abuse that is structured in a ceremonial fashion, often incorporating religious or mythological iconography" (McFadyen et al.1993) The activity is usually structured by 'deviant scriptualism', in which abusive groups parody traditional religious symbols and ritual practices (Kent 1993a, 1993b). The majority of cases of ritualistic abuse involve female victims and facilitation by parents (Creighton 1993, Gallagher et al. 1996). -Michael Salter, Organised Sexual Abuse.

Satanic Ritual Abuse is an example of this modern times and the case of witch hunts is an example from antiquity. - Erich Goode.

"When society denies that ritual abuse exists, it literally denies survivors permission to heal." - Chrystine Oksana.

"Speaking out about ritual abuse brings more information and potential understanding about this issue to a society steeped in denial." - Jadelinn

Weiner, (The Corsini Encyclopedia Of Psychology, Volume 4 )
