- Credentialed and respected psychologist and author of 57 articles and eight books including a leading textbook, Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions & Metaphors
- His presentation, Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse delivered at a regional conference on June 25, 1992 has come to be called The Greenbaum Speech
Dr. Hammond took great personal risk in presenting this extensive research into ritual abuse being carried out by a system of cults around the world. Due to intense threats, Dr. Hammond stopped speaking about this topic shortly after this speech and has remained quiet since.

I have gone from someone not knowing what to think about it all to someone who clearly believes ritual abuse is real…For a long time I would give information to a select group of therapists that I knew and trusted, and say, “Spread it out. Don’t spread my name. But here’s some information. If you find it’s on target, share it with other therapists, and I’d appreciate your feedback.” People were hungry for information. Later, I and a few others that I’d shared it with were hedging out of concern because of personal threats and death threats. I finally decided to hell with them. If they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me. It’s time to share more information with therapists

111 Testify that Australian Military Used Rape as Initiation
Australian commission: Military cadets raped as initiation
June 22, 2016, CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/21/asia/australia-military-abuse/index.html
Teenage recruits were raped by staff and forced to rape each other as part of initiation practices in the Australian military going back to 1960, a public inquiry heard on Tuesday. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse is hearing evidence from men and women who say they were sexually abused when they were as young as 15… In total, 111 victims came forward to report abuse. More than a dozen of them will give evidence to the inquiry. “On multiple occasions, I was snatched from my bed in the middle of the night by older recruits and dragged to a sports oval,” said one male witness who wasn’t named. The witness said he was forced to rape other recruits, and was raped himself by older recruits and staff. “The environment made it useless to resist,” he said. “One could stand only so much abuse before realizing that saying ‘no’ was pointless.” Many survivors say that when they reported the abuse, they were ignored, punished, or told it was “a rite of passage” in their initiation period.

Svali, RA Survivor
Ritual abuse survivor.
I am a survivor of both ritual abuse and governmental mind control. My greatest hope in sharing on these pages is that the information will be helpful to others in breaking free of coercive cult control and help them realize that it is really possible to become free. My other goal is to help educate therapists and supporters of survivors so that they can better understand what survivors have gone through, and things that have helped others in their healing journey.

Sue Blume, Social Worker
Therapist who became aware of ritual abuse from terrorized clients.
In the late 1980s, I knew nothing of ritual abuse… [It] was a complex and intimidating phenomenon for which we were totally unprepared, both professionally and personally. Therapists in the USA, Canada, the UK, and elsewhere around the world found themselves listening to horrifying, shocking, and sometimes unbelievable disclosures by terrorized clients… The treatment process would prove endlessly complicated, even dangerous… The normal rules just did not apply. On a desperate journey to meet our clients’ needs, we reached out for guidance from some pioneering professionals and brave survivors (the real experts). What they had to offer was invaluable, but we still could not figure out what the new rules needed to be. Some healed. Many did not… Treating ritual abuse felt frightening overwhelming, confusing and, frankly, sometimes impossible.
