In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, Tanya and Erin dive into the phenomenon of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.
They discuss the mass hysteria fueled by the media, the involvement of mental health professionals in perpetuating the false narratives, and the widespread repercussions on society.
Through the lens of the documentary 'Satan Wants You,' they explore how one book, 'Michelle Remembers,' led to a nationwide moral panic, the dubious therapeutic practices of the time, and the long-lasting impact on cultural perceptions of mental health and abuse.
