The satanic survivor topic seems to fall under three major genres: memoir, investigative journal, and how-to guide. "Breaking the Circle of Satanic Ritual Abuse" falls under the latter. How-to guides are generally written by therapists with the aim of supporting others (fellow therapists, family members, kind allies) through the SRA complex.
Daniel Ryder has written a how-to guide that is so. much. more. This book thoroughly covers all aspects of the SRA underground in a way that supports his peers, educates the outsiders, eases the reader's mind, while honoring the victims. If John Wiley & Sons, Inc., current publishers of the "For Dummies" instructional reference books, wanted to tackle this topic for their line of books, they could ask Mr. Ryder to republish his book under their banner. It's incredibly thorough, yet gentle and easy to follow.
I recommend this book as a first stop for any therapists wading into the SRA waters for the first time or to anyone curious, but sensitive to the SRA topic. It's filled with first hand accounts from survivors and it's not only sprinkled with references to other publications throughout, but also has a full chapter on support resources. Very well done.

People who belong to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation have been encouraged by that group to write anonymous negative reviews for all books that 'encourage' false memories, and flood the major booksellers with these reviews. While the book they fear most is The Courage to Heal, this is another valuable book for those recovering from, or helping others to recover from, organized ritual abuse. Survivors have suffered the horror of the original abuse, the humiliation of being disbelieved, and the fear of speaking out due to threats of retaliation. Despite all this, healing is possible, and this book can help.
