UPDATE – Following the coverage of the conviction of the Abingdon cleryman, the Revd Tim Davis, who was found guilty of spiritual abuse in late December 2017, and the report into Spiritual Abuse commissioned by CCPAS, Jayne wrote an article Are You Suffering From Spiritual Abuse? – ViaMedia blog, January 8th 2018
On April 21st 2017 Jayne addressed the Royal College of Psychiatrists Spirituality Special Interest Group about the need to recognise Spiritual Abuse formally as a form of abuse.
An edited version of her speech was then published in their summer journal (Newsletter 43), which created much media interest:
