Who is the author: Laurie Matthew works at the Young Women’s Centre in Dundee as well as being the founder of the Ritual Abuse Network of Scotland. She has many years experience of working with and supporting survivors or ritual abuse.
Who is the book primarily aimed at: The book states that it “is aimed primarily at workers who may come into contact with survivors, in rape crisis centres, Women’s Aid and other voluntary organisations”. But is also suited to workers in statutory organisations.
Key topics and areas covered in book: In this book we are introduced to ritual abuse at the outset with both definitions of the abuse and an introduction to the workings of ritual abuse. We are then introduced to the effect society has on ritual abuse before getting onto a chapter about workers and agencies and survivors both discussing working effectively with survivors and how best to support them. We are then told about many of the different aspects and key features of ritual abuse. There is also a well-written chapter on child survivors followed by an introduction to multiplicity and working with multiples. To conclude the book there are a number of handouts that can be used when working with survivors.
How I view the book as a survivor: I read this book fairly early on in my recovery and as such found it quite triggering although actual details of what abusers do are kept fairly brief. I found the handouts at the back of the book brilliant. They contained the information on surviving I needed in a very basic and easy to understand way. The book was written throughout in a way that provided me as a survivor with hope and keeps returning to the strength we as survivors have.
The overall impression of the book: Overall I think this book could become an excellent guide for all those working with survivors. I believe that even those that have never heard of or have doubts about ritual abuse can learn how to work effectively with survivors by the time they have completed the book. This book is a must for all those that either work with or intend to work with ritual abuse survivors.
Key Quote: “Know that you can do it. Believe in yourself and in your ability to survive. You’ve made it this far against all odds so you do have skills and coping mechanisms to continue to survive and heal.”

I found this book informative and useful. I liked the way it was written as it was easy to read but full of very helpful facts. It is a good resource both for survivors of abuse and for workers who are trying to help them.
