Produktbeschreibung

"Ms. Stratford has presented the `how' and the `why' of ritual abuse in such a systematic, well-documented way that even the most vehement nonbeliever will surely think again. I will use this book as a basic text to explain the concepts of brainwashing, programming, and mind control to judges and juries when I am called to present expert testimony in cases where ritual abuse is alleged." -Pamela J. Monday, Ph.D., Editor Newsletter for the Society for the Investigation, Treatment, and Prevention of Ritual and Cult Abuse "`Baby' came on the scene when I was about four years old, splitting off in a moment from the trapped and terrorized little girl that I was then in order to experience and remember the trauma that I could not handle." -From Stripped Naked Baby is just one of Lauren's alter personalities. In this, her latest book, she emotionally portrays Baby and several of the others whom she recently discovered operating inside of her. Each personality was created to absorb the emotional and physical pain of her abusive childhood, which included forced membership in a cult. Cult members programmed her alters to serve the cult's objectives. Some were even programmed to punish Lauren if she exposed the cult, including punishment as severe as suicide. Stripped Naked is a viable resource for mental health professionals, clergy, law enforcement, survivors, and lay people. With humor, heart, and honesty, it describes how Lauren and her therapists meet the personalities, and it addresses the key issues of recognizing abuse and alters, and then learning how to function in every day life. Lauren Stratford takes readers on a harrowing journey to recovery, which she describes as elevating a Multiple Personality Disorder into a Multiple Personality Gift. She is also the author of Satan's Underground and I Know You're Hurting: Living Through Emotional Pain, both of which are published by Pelican.
