About the Course:

Ongoing incest during adulthood almost invariably incorporates one or more forms of organised sexual and other abuse – whether it be multi-generational familial sexual abuse, the involvement of groups of workmates and others associated with the father, organised child and adult prostitution, or groups of abusers associated with churches or cults. Assessment of the victims of such abuse indicates that all have Dissociative Identity Disorder and that in general they are more dissociative than those with DID whose abuse has largely ended. The manipulation of such victims by their abusers often incorporates psychological conditioning and the direct and knowing accessing of alter states, which extends to the planned creation of compliant alters. The fine-grained study of this form of abuse informs us about many of the psychological processes (on the part of both abusers and victims) that underly organised abuse.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, A Life Sentence: How the Study of Ongoing Incest During Adulthood Informs Us About the Nature of Organised Abuse created by Warwick Middleton, MB BS, FRANZCP, MD in 2018.
