McCulley, D. "Satanic ritual abuse: A question of memory." Journal of
Psychology and Theology Fall 1994 22(3) p.167-172
In spite of reports by thousands of adults who describe satanic ritual
abuse in their backgrounds, the Special Issue of the Journal of
Psychology and Theology reveals obdurate skepticism regarding their
credibility on the part of several contributors. Some of these
disbelievers currently are citing experiments demonstrating extreme
malleability for human memory as evidence that survivor accounts,
especially those involving delayed memory, are fantasies implanted by
incompetent clinicians. However, leading memory researchers such as
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk of Harvard Medical School maintain that
traumatic memories, which typically are engraved in the sensorimotor
processes, are not subject to the same kinds of contamination that can
affect normal memory. Traumatic amnesia, described in the DSM-III-R as
psychogenic amnesia, is a phenomenon which has been known to mental
health professionals for more than 100 years. The clinically observed
characteristics of traumatic memory formation and retrieval match
precisely the patterns of memory recovery exhibited by SRA survivors,
and strongly confirm the reality of their cult abuse.
Quotes: If satanic ritual abuse is a question of memory, the data
redound to the credibility of those thousands of individuals who
identify themselves as SRA survivors. All the scientific studies of
memory under trauma indicate that the bimodal response described by
van der Kolk (1994), whether hyperpotentiated or dissociative,
heightens the reliability of recall. The phenomenon of recovered
memory is not a new therapeutic fad created by irresponsible clinical
experimentation, but a well established aspect of trauma. The
connection between trauma and memory disturbance is made clear by the
definition of psychogenic amnesia in the DSM-III-R (1987) which states
that "The predominant disturbance is one or more episodes of inability
to recall important personal information, usually of a traumatic or
stressful nature, that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary
forgetfulness" (p. 273).
Further, there often is corroboration for these retrieved memories.
Judith Herman and Emily Schatzow (1992) found that in a sample of 53
women who disclosed memories of abuse for which they had been amnesic,
74% of the subjects were able to find independent confirmation from
family members, pornographic photos, or diaries. Ivor Browne (1990a)
found the "internal consistency of the traumatic account" persuasive,
and also discovered that in the sizeable minority of cases where there
was an available witness that "in every instance, the traumatic
events . turn out to be true" (p. 30).
There is no longer room for denial and disbelief - for evading the
grim reality of SRA - by recourse to memory research which simply does
not apply. Solid scientific inquiry does not allow us that luxury;
neither should Christian conscience. https://wisdom.biola.edu/jpt

Jonker, F; Jonker-Bakker, I "Reaction to Benjamin Rossen's
Investigation of Satanic Ritual Abuse in Oude Pekela" Journal of
Psychology and Theology 1992 20(3) p.260-262
quotes: The authors, Jonker and Jonker-Bakker, respond to Benjamin
Rossen's criticisms of their handling of an alleged satanic ritual
abuse incident in Oude Pekela, The Netherlands.
This response in turn criticizes the quality of Rossen's scientific
work, especially in respect to his judgments made without having had
direct contact with the children or their parents, or other principals
in the incident....All Rossen's statements about the children and
their parents, about Professor Mik, about school teachers and about
ourselves were based on no contact whatsoever with any of us.
