"==Satanic Ritual Abuse Hysteria Participant== 
 It should be noted somewhere in this article that deMause was a contributor to the whole Satanic Ritual Abuse hysteria of the early 1990s, in part via his article ""Why Cults Terrorize and Kill Children"" (often cited by the SRA folks, as for instance here - ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/articles/why-cults-terrorize-and-kill-children-lloyd-demause-the-journal-of-psychohistory/). Now that the truth is finally coming out about the falsity of the vast majority of the ritual abuse claims, the innocence of most of the defendants, and the excesses of the prosecutions that took place, his part in trying to give it some legitimacy should be noted.
