This book is the first recovery book for SRA survivors that I have read. The effects of my own abuse and experience with SRA and DID(formerly multiple personality disorder) were capsulized in this single book. No book can "do justice" to the severity and prevalence of SRA, yet I am greatly impressed with the depth of knowledge and wisdom Daniel Ryder portrayed in this book. Incorporating the 12 Steps into SRA recovery was a lifesaver to me, and I wish I could thank Daniel personally.

This is an excellent book for those in the professional fields that concern satanic ritual abuse. It's concise, informative, and factual. It's geared toward those involved in treating trauma victims; however, it would also be useful for those in law enforcement and security as it gives subtle, but recognizable, signs of those who have been subjected to hideous trauma, such as satanic ritual abuse (sra). If you have a friend or are a partner who is an SRA survivor, this book is a must. It will increase your knowledge, and understanding, of the reactions and effects on those subjected to SRA or other forms of ritual abuse and trauma.
Based on my brush with a satanic cult and the effects such cults have on individuals (MPD), this is a factual book. I'm surprised it only has one "this is hype" review from satanic apologists. One would think a good book like this would have a string of "this is urban myth" reviews by those who wish, with probably cause, to continue to hide the most hideous, unaddressed crime in this country, if not the world. I repeat: an excellent book. If you don't buy it; read it at the library.

This book will be helpful to therapists and support friends of ritual abuse survivors. While Breaking The Cycle takes a 12 step approach to recovery (similiar To Alcoholics Anonymous), Daniel Ryder presents a more secular approach on healing. While traditional therapy and peer counseling may be extremely helpful, a more spiritual approach will often produce remarkable results.
Therapists and support people may benefit greatly from Daniel Ryder's research and sensitivity toward survivors. There's a great deal of documentation and heroic stories of recovery by several survivors. Some of the material is out of date and survivors now have greater resources via the internet.
Overall, I'd recommend Breaking The Cycle as a supplement to traditional therapy. I'd caution survivors while reading due to the highly triggering material. For further reading I'd suggest: A Safe Passage to Healing by Chrystine Oksana.

A message to anyone who believes in SRA
I highly suggest that you read "Satanic Panic: The Creation of a Contemporary Legend," as it debunks more effectively than any other book the myth of SRA. Read more
