November--December 1988, pp. 547--550.
SUMMARY:
Suggests guidelines for interventions with adolescents involved in Satan worship. The symbols and activities associated with satanism are described. It is suggested that adolescents become involved in satanism as an escape from feelings of alienation and isolation and because they are disconnected from community values and conventional peer-group activities. The individual motivation involved in satanism may be a need for power. Case examples of 2 15-yr-old males illustrate the problems in establishing rapport with these clients in therapy and the need to distance such clients from their subculture. The goals of therapy for these individuals include motivational insight and resolution of identity and self-esteem issues.
