Frontline: The Search for Satan

PBS Frontline documentary by Ofra Bikel originally aired 10/24/95. Shows the early pioneers of recovered memory therapy implanting memories of satanic ritual abuse in their patients - then using those patients in training videos for other mental health professionals. ISSTD founder Bennett Braun and his colleagues Roberta Sachs, Corydon Hammond, and Judith Peterson are highlighted. Despite the successful lawsuits against them, their recommendations are still being passed along and used by some psychotherapists today.
