Lucien Greaves, Public Speaker, Writer, Spokesperson

Join us for a fascinating talk where Lucien will explain the role of licensed mental health professionals in the creation of "Satanic Panic," and touch on discredited mental health therapies of today.

"Dissociative Identity Disorder," included in the 5th edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V), does not enjoy general support among psychiatric professionals as a legitimate disorder. A rebranding of "Multiple Personality Disorder," DID is regularly cited to add an air of legitimacy to the more hysterical, ritual abuse fantasies that fueled the pedophilic assault of the McMartin preschool case of the 80s, up to the more recent Satanic Ritual Abuse charges against the Mohler family in Missouri.

Lucien Greaves is co-founder of and spokesperson for the Satanic Temple - an international nontheistic religious organization advocating for secularism and scientific rationalism. The Satanic Temple doesn't believe in a literal Satan but sees the biblical Satan as a metaphor for rebellion against tyranny. Lucien has appeared in numerous media outlets and has made televised appearances on the Fox News Network. He is a public speaker and essayist who has contributed articles to publications including Skeptic Magazine, Skeptical Inquirer, The Washington Post, International Business Times.
