-Caveat Lector-
To: Fellow Survivors of Extreme Abuse and Their Advocates From: Carol Rutz An untold number of persons who survived extreme abuse including ritual abuse, cult abuse, sexual abuse, clergy abuse, mind control, torture, etc. and as a result developed posttraumatic conditions such as DID have been ignored too long and further injured by their inability to find quality mental health providers who recognize their symptoms and have the expertise to help them. If you have been unable to find a safe way to find and use your voice, now is your opportunity to do a completely anonymous survey that may affect a change in the way we are perceived by an uniformed public as well as by some skeptical mental health professionals. I am pleased to be part of a research team from the United States and Germany that has developed a survey designed to explore commonalities reported by survivors from around the world regarding: 1. Types of abuse/violence/tortures to which they have been subjected. 2. Aftereffects of extreme abuse which they have experienced. 3. Methods of healing that have been most effective for them. The survey, available in both English and German, is online at _http://extreme-abuse-survey.net/_ (http://extreme-abuse-survey.net/) . If you are a survivor, I invite you to respond to the survey titled, "An International Survey of Adult Survivors of Extreme Abuse" and to make your survivor friends aware of this opportunity. If you are a professional who works with trauma survivors, please tell them about the survey and suggest their participation. The results of the survey will be widely disseminated on the World Wide Web, offered in press releases, and published in an edited academic book. A second survey will be available shortly for completion by therapists/counselors/clergy who work professionally with adult survivors of extreme abuse. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
