Thanks heaps for sharing that info! And thanks for reading! Despite being wrong about Dr Phil in my OP, I'm very, very fond of this thread. Hope you're finding it interesting.Butter!
Rough Around the Edges
I sure am! It's one of the first threads I ever checked out on here actually, outside the (shudder) conspiracy section where I lurked for ages before joining.
Thanks to everyone who keeps it going!
That's what I figured! I'm hoping to use it as my foot in the door in joining the Nazi Jew Illuminati!
I'm finding it very, very interesting. I was, luckily, not raised in church, so I wasn't even aware of the Satanic Panic until after it was all over. What a nightmare.
Hopefully I'll have more to contribute as I catch up with the thread, but it's a great source of information so far.

Yes, this is a great thread, and I'm glad to see it still around. In a very small way, I actually felt like I participated in something important!

In retrospect, it's rather amazing that someone like Geraldo Rivera had a journalistic career after that. As far as I can tell the satanic panic never affected his reputation which only got slightly dinged after the big Al Capone's vault show fiasco and then, at some point years later, he found the Fox News Channel. Perfect fit!
Did anyone involved in prosecuting the "perpetrators" of this abuse ever face any real consequences for this? A journalist not having their reputation dinged is one thing (no matter how much they deserve to be dinged), but aren't there people still in prison that were convicted of SRA?

I think anything like that would require proving that the individuals involved were acting in bad faith and/or with criminal intent when they prosecuted or supported the SRA investigations. Barring that, civil liability is the best one can hope for (I seem to remember some of these accused SRA participants winning civil cases against their accusers or the government, but I cannot be sure of any specificities).
It's Multiple Personality Day on March 5, 2015.
That seems like a good day to spread some skepticism about multiple personalities.

If anyone's still interested, the answer is the NASW. That's the organization who made the deranged Pat Goodwin (posting as JustAnotherSurvivor, along with her equally deranged partner in crime, David Shurter/LoessJedi), founder of Ivory Garden, a provider of CEUs. They're now gearing up for a second conference, scheduled again for this fall, with an even more ISSTD-affiliated presenters.
The inmates are running the asylum.

Not sure if it's still meant to be a secret, but in case it is, Felicity Lee IS Pat Goodwin.

Thank you, Orphia!
She did go public with it on Amazon and elsewhere, as you've shown here. On Amazon, she made the announcement while posting as "JustAnotherSurvivor", so she's identified both of her aliases. (I suppose she could always go back to posting as "Yogurt Lover" if she wanted to claim plausible deniability...)This is an important point, isissxn. For a very long time, the prevailing attitude you experienced was, more or less, accurate. Unfortunately, a core group of therapists never really stopped practicing those harmful techniques. The terminology has been revamped and updated, the techniques themselves and the therapeutic models that utilize them have been tweaked a bit, renamed, and are coming back into vogue.
Also, there are still people who promote DID and the SRA conspiracy at universities. Alliant University in California is home to the "perpetually panic-stricken" Randy Noblitt, who still currently teaches a course on Ritual Abuse.
Somehow RMT has not only managed to stick around, it's constantly on the verge of becoming mainstream again. I think part of the problem might be that a lot of people in academia who might have some influence still think it's not done anymore, that DID is diagnosed rarely, only by a handful of quacks, and not worth worrying about. In the meantime, therapists are awarded Continuing Education Credits from places like the Ivory Garden DID conference, for attending workshops and presentations by the worst of the conspiracy pushers; they get CEUs for learning therapeutic models like Internal Family Systems (the primary model used at the now-notorious Castlewood Treatment Center), etc.

A review: Lifespan Integration
Lifespan Integration is an example of one of the newer Repressed/Recovered Memory therapeutic models.
"LI is body-based, and combines active imagination, the juxtaposition of ego states in time, and a visual time line of memories to facilitate neural integration and rapid healing. During the integrating phase of the protocol, the client ‘views’ a memory image for each year of his or her life. The Lifespan Integration technique causes memories to surface spontaneously, and because of how memories are held neurologically, each memory which surfaces is related to the emotional theme or issue being targeted.

So just how are memories held neurologically? I mean, how does it work? And why is the way they are neurologically held important? If they were held any other way, would LI still work, or is it only because memories are held neurologically they way they are that LI is able to work?
