- You can find anything you really want on The Process in William Sims
- Bainbridge, _Satan's Power: a Deviant Psychotherapy Cult_ (Berkeley:
- U Calif Pr, 1978, and the update by Bainbridge, "Social Construction from
- Within: Satan's Process," in _The Satanism Scare_ ed. Richardson, Best, &
- Bromley (NY: Aldine, 1991), pp. 297-310. Or if you prefer booga-booga
- rumor to genuine ethnography, find the first printing *only* of Ed Sanders,
- _The Family_ (NY: Dutton, 1971). Sanders (the illustrious leader of The
- Fugs and author of _F*** [sic!] God In The Ass_) posed as a drug-crazed
- satanist in S. Calif. after the Manson murders became public and collected
- everything he heard about dog-skinning and blood-drinking. The first printing
- has a lot about how The Process masterminded the Tate-LaBianca murders, but
- Sanders was successfully sued for libel by The Process and he (alas) had to
- take all the good parts out in the second printing.
