PRIMUM NON NOâCERE
Today, cloaked in a mental health perspective, knowledgeable experts publicly chide the legal system for applying the standard of proof in criminal prosecutions, i.e., proof beyond a reasonable doubt, as the criterion for accepting whether these kinds of acts have occurred (Rivera 1988; Braun et al. 1989). They assert in scientific journals that the traumatic sequela that they see in their patients and the identical stories that they hear constitute real evidence for the existence of the satanic cult. They fail to mention the education of the therapeutic ear, censored mail and phone calls, frantic searching for triggers and cues, use of restraints, the finger signals, and risks of engaging in therapeutic probing with highly hypnotizable patients. Consequently, no one dares to doubt when the progressive collapse of the disclosing adult patient into âunusual fears, survivor guilt, indoctrinated beliefs, substance abuse, sexualization of sadistic impulses and dissociative states with satanic overtonesâ is held up as a new clinical syndrome (Young et al. 1991).
Since 1987, Dr. Bennett Braun has begun workshops and conferences on the diagnosis and treatment of satanic ritual abuse victims by announcing âI do everything by the rule of 5 . . . Anything that I report will be well above the rule of 5, and that means from five separate people, often from different statesâ (Braun 1989). He admits to his listeners that although he cannot prove the claims he is making, he is drawing his material from the reports of over 80 victims of satanic ritual abuse that he has either treated personally, or whose cases he has personally supervised. He further asserts that in addition to his own material, he has received material from hundreds of therapists from all over the United States. He has âgotten data from England, Holland, Germany, France, Canada and Mexico, which is (not absolutely identical) but real, real, real similar. Some of the symbolism is identical across these countries. The structure and the things people talk about, the types of abuse are very, very similar, so itâs the same church, different pew phenomenaâ (Braun 1988).
Dr. Braun invites his listeners to forward their material to him with the assurance that it will be locked away for safe keeping, far from the intruding eyes of the threatening satanists, noting that when he receives information, all details that could indicate the real source of the data are stripped away. He suggests that he and his associates will be proceeding cautiously with the complex investigation. As a result, social researchers are left with only Dr. Braunâs word when they seek to examine his data base and the analytical methods that he and his informants used to conclude that âwe are working with a national-international type organization thatâs got a structure somewhat similar to the communist cell structure, where it goes from local, from small groups to local consuls, regional consuls, district consuls, national consuls and they have meetings at different timesâ (Braun 1988).
During hours of training that follow, through the magic of words, the conspiratorial blood cult with its sadomasochistic brainwashing tortures will exist.
