ABSTRACT
Most therapists have received at least basic training in how to assess whether a client is suicidal, and how high the risk. They have also been instructed to take all suicide threats seriously, and to provide immediate service and possible hospitalization to clients with specific suicide plans or other risk factors. All survivors of mind control and ritual abuse have suicide training. At the same time, the suicide programming is very useful to the groups. The Extreme Abuse Survey discovered that mind control and ritual abuse survivors made many more suicide attempts than other extreme abuse survivors, but had no more successful suicides. So, therapists treating survivors need to be aware of the programming for unsuccessful suicide attempts and the "do not die" programming, as well as programming for successful suicide. In the early years of working with survivors, the author discovered that the local mental hospital was thoroughly infiltrated.
