Ritual abuse is abuse done within a secretive and gratuitous organisation that practices killing, orgies and other very destructive activities. This is its specific aspect. Other activities are organised child and adult pornography, prostitution, human trade, etc and which are similar to general organized crime. They generally are organised as cults and small groups, and abuse anti-societal religions/ideologies such as satanism, nazism, druidism etc or pervert mainstream religions/ideologies such as Christianity and Masonry. The abuse can be current and/or from suffering its effects.
The main issues that come up with ritual abuse are understanding the cults/organizations, who believes in its existence, what general recovery from the abuse means and specifically the deprogramming or stopping brainwashing, what support there is for victims/survivors, and what support there is for supporters eg loved ones, non offending family, friends, counsellors, etc.
