	How the ritual abuse panic started
		In it, Dr. Lawrence Pazder and Michelle Smith Pazder (for she became his wife as well as his patient) related the sexual and other tortures inflicted on the young Michelle by a secret coven of Satanists.
		Dr. Pazder believed that his patient, whom he had been treating for depression, had repressed all memories of these events until, with his help, she was able to recover them by going into a trance-like state.
		Lawrence Pazder is still in practice and declined requests for an interview.

	Michelle Remembers- False "Survivor" Story of Satanic Abuse
		Pazder's interpretation of this ceremony was that "...whoever these people were and whatever they were doing-ritual sex, apparently-they seemed to be moving toward some sort of controlled, deliberate frenzy..." This is another example of Dr. Pazder developing the story from Michelle's cues.
		Pazder later states that by the time that Michelle made her disclosures, the police records of the accident had been destroyed due to their age, so he was unable to use them to corroborate Michelle's story.
		Pazder subsequently decided that certain dates in 1954 and 1955 corresponded to the dates that Michelle was recalled memories on in 1976/77.

		Lawrence and Sue: We just wanted you and your family to know that our thoughts are with you at this time.
		Pazder was always very nice to me even though we were all such a handfull growing up.
		Dr. Larry Pazder was a wonderful and caring person, and his skills as a psychiatrist were appreciated by staff, clients, and other workers associated with Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services in B.C. We have lost a dynamic co-worker, but incomparable to Michelle's and the family's loss.

		However, there has been no verification of these events, and it has been discovered that the alleged victim was attending school regularly, and was even photographed for the school yearbook, at a time when she was supposedly locked in a basement for months.
		Pazder had an interest in exorcism and had studied West African witchcraft rituals, some of which involved being buried in a pit — it is worth noting that burial or entombment was to become one of the frequently reported components of the SRA scenario.
		Pazder's influence was soon to be exercised in raising the satanism scenario in one of the most notorious investigations and trials in America, centering on the McMartin Preschool.

	satanic ritual abuse
		In the 1980s there was a panic regarding SRA, which was largely triggered by a fictional book called Michelle Remembers (1980) by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, Ph.D. The book was published as fact but has subsequently been shown to be a hoax by at least three independent investigators.
		It is likely that her reports of abuse were “the hysterical ravings of an uncontrolled imagination” (Allen and Midwinter 1990).
		Pazder coined the expression 'ritual abuse.' He was consulted in more than one thousand SRA cases and can take credit for contributing greatly to one of the largest witch-hunts in recent history.

		that Pazder was brought in as a special consultant at McMartin, which he claimed was part of an international conspiracy.

	Satanic ritual abuse and McMartin: a global village rumour
		In Michelle Remembers, the patient Michelle Smith, writing with the help of her Canadian psychiatrist Dr Lawrence Pazder (whom she eventually married), gives a vivid account of how she was supposedly imprisoned during her childhood by a satanic cult.
		The members of the cult supposedly tortured her, forced her to defaecate on a crucifix, raped and sodomised her with candles, butchered still-born babies in front of her and imprisoned her naked in a snake-filled cage.
		As Pazder’s ideas gradually coalesced with general anxieties about religious cults and sexual abuse, the notion of a large-scale conspiracy to abuse children began to seem plausible.

		Pazder's ex wife theorizes that the reason that certain Catholic festival dates correspond with significant disclosures by Michelle is that Michelle was trying extra hard on those dates to draw Lawrence away from participation in Church activities with his wife and family.
		Pazder goes on to claim that the objective of ritualistic abuse is to turn the child who is the victim "against God".
		Pazder concludes by telling the seminar attendees that "We need to stand up with [survivors] and believe what they are telling us even if we don't understand." Never mind the lack of evidence he is saying; just believe.

		In the book, Michelle and her psychiatrist recount how in the course of her continued therapeutic sessions as an adult, she recalled involvement in a Satanic cult in Vancouver, BC when she was five years old.
		Let me quote Arthur Lyons for some additional material on Michelle Smith: "It seems that, while undergoing intense psychotherapy with Dr. Pazder for an assortment of emotional disorders, Smith began to recall repressed childhood memories, which Pazder concluded were the source of her problems.
		What she revealed to him was that, as a five-year-old in Vancouver, she had been offered up by her mother to a Satanic cult and forced to participate in unspeakable rites.

		Furthermore Pazder either does not mention or is unaware that the Yorubans had two other systems of divination: One is the Table of Ifa, also known as Opon Ifa.
		He gives it to her, including his belief in the international Satanic conspiracy myth, and his belief that Satanism is older than Christianity (a neat trick, considering it was the Church who invented the concept).
		It all has something to do with certain special days in the Christian Church..." A moment ago she acted surprised when Pazder told her his suspicions that the cult members were Satanists.

	The Dark Tunnels of McMartin Roland C. Summit
		Lotto traces the origin of ritual cult abuse survivor stories to 1980, with the patient/therapist collaboration of Michelle Remembers.(2) Such attribution of cause and effect is no less magical than assigning the power of spring time to the first crocus.
		And how is it relevant that Dr. Pazder divorced his wife and married his former patient, or that the psychologist who "interrogated" Ileana Fuster before her testimony in the Country Walk prosecution had himself been imprisoned for sexual assault of his clients?
		Similarly, the television producers brought Dr. Pazder to Los Angeles not to introduce the concept of satanic ritual abuse but to address it, since it was by then common knowledge among journalists that children and parents were describing unearthly obscenities.

		Although the Library of Congress did not assign the term "ritual abuse" as a subject heading until 1995, one form or another of that phrase was in use since the early 1980s.
		Nathan (1995) reported that the term "ritual abuse" was first used by therapist Lawrence Pazder at an American Psychological Association meeting in 1981 (pp.
		It is common for there to be a time lag between a term being coined and adoption of a standard subject heading, and some common terms are never adopted for use in databases.

	AMERICA'S MAGIC CULT OF IGNORANCE
		Under hypnosis, Smith told her Toronto-based hypnotherapist (and now husband), Lawrence Pazder, that her parents had been part of a robed satanic cult that kept her locked in a cage with spiders and snakes, ritually sacrificed infants and once sliced a fetus in half and rubbed it over her body.
		Smith, who grew up in Victoria, British Columbia, in the early 1950s, further contended that the cult leaders had sewn horns and a tail onto her, and that once she was being tortured by Satan himself but was rescued by Jesus and Mary.
		Police investigations turned up no graves and no missing babies, and an analysis of Pazder's methods led some observers to conclude that his questioning had steered Smith into "remembering" events that might not be real.

		Allegations of satanic ritual abuse became common after Lawrence Pazder published his book, Michelle Remembers, in which his wife and client, Michelle Smith gives a harrowing tale of her supposed abuse in a satanic cult.
		This book is commonly referenced as the beginning of the SRA hoax.

		In 1980 a book was published by Michelle Smith and Dr Lawrence Pazder called Michelle Remembers.
		The book was apparently an account of the sufferings by the author at the hands of a Satanic cult, but it was soon discovered that much of the content derived from Dr Pazder's studies of African native ritual.
		As the paranoia gathered pace, dozens of court cases were heard in the United States in the early 1980s based on allegations which closely duplicated those in Pazder's book.
