Recommend moving it to [[Ritual abuse/bibliography]]; it will actually get more exposure there. There's no more content here than in many bibliography listings, and it would seem that it be more likely that the articles be cited than the book. | |||
Other reasonable book listings include major reference books, books that are part of fictional series, books made into movies, books with a significant historical role (e.g., [[The Origin of Species]]).

I object to a pattern of behavior
...which seems to consist of importing articles about books and surveys that assume the existence of widespread ritual abuse, but seem immune to challenge as the article "merely" reports what the book says. Is there never to be any open discussion of the topic other than by an advocate? Howard C. Berkowitz 03:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

This is more appropriate in a bibliography
Recommend moving it to Ritual abuse/bibliography; it will actually get more exposure there. There's no more content here than in many bibliography listings, and it would seem that it be more likely that the articles be cited than the book.
Other reasonable book listings include major reference books, books that are part of fictional series, books made into movies, books with a significant historical role (e.g., The Origin of Species). I'm afraid I don't see how this is comparable, although it's perfectly reasonable in a bibliography.
