Katharina Rutschky

Katharina Rutschky is a German author and publicist known for her critical analyses of social issues, particularly relating to childhood and abuse. She has been vocal about the societal dynamics surrounding the panic over child abuse, notably during the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980s and 1990s, where she critiqued the media and public discourse for its sensationalism and fear-mongering. Her insights often explore the intersection of culture, psychology, and the collective anxieties that manifest in societal fears, particularly regarding moral and sexual taboos.
