Michelle Remembers
"Michelle Remembers" is a book published in 1980, co-authored by Michelle Smith and psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder. It details Smith's alleged repressed memories of being a victim of ritual abuse as a child. The book became a significant part of the Satanic Panic phenomenon in the 1980s and 1990s, which involved widespread fears about satanic cults and abuse.
The narrative describes Smith's experiences of trauma and recovery through therapy sessions with Pazder. While it gained popularity and sparked discussions about memory and abuse, it has also faced criticism for its lack of scientific evidence and the controversial methods used in recovering memories.
