The above link is to a chapter in an extremely controversial book “Memory in Dispute” by world leading satan hunter and therapy cult leader Valerie Sinason
Orbach’s chapter is described thus:
"Chapter Five
False memory syndrome
BySusie Orbach
Pages11
In this chapter, Susie Orbach shows the part that feminism played in the understanding of the extent of abuse against women and children. She examines the processes of personal denial in the consulting-room, as well as societal denial and the role of the media.”
In my extensive personal experience of deluded mental health professionals they promote recovered memory testimonies as “evidence” of satanic ritual abuse and regard any skeptical questioning of such testimonies as “denial of sexual abuse”.
This is an appalling stance to take as vulnerable people can be brainwashed into believing all kinds of bizarre things via exposure to quack therapies.
Also, over the years I have met countless women, many of them lesbians and / or feminists, who “recovered memories” of incest and / or satanic ritual abuse following therapy at the Women’s Therapy Centre in London. Orbach founded the Women’s Therapy centre and it should come as no great surprise to anyone that she is networked in to a horrifying array of charlatans.
Readers might find this archived webpage interesting, I believe the author is the journalist who writes the “satanic panic” sections in Private Eye magazine.

NOTE: The links on the page d not work. You will have to scroll down to find the relevant section or, to search for “Orbach” (or just type control or cmd + f to search the page) The relevant section is about the notorious satan hunter Beatrix Campbell and explores the connections between feminism and radical feminism and the promotion of the satanic panic. I have emphasised the text relevant to Orbach.
The entire page is worthy of serious consideration, but the section relevant to Orbach reads:.
"Amongst the feminist community, Ms. Campbell OBE is still an iconic figure, despite her association with religious fundamentalism and the promotion of the SRA Myth and other causes that have negatively impacted on women, particularly women with children. The organisation Feminism in London thinks enough of her that they invited her as a keynote speaker in the opening session of the Feminism in London 2009 gathering, and also in recognition of the her appointment as Commissioner to the Board of the Women’s National Commission (WNC) though the WMC, not having contributed anything positive to the lives of the UK's women was wound-up in 2011 by the Coalition government. In addition to Ms. Campbell (OBE) another keynote speaker was Susan (Suzie) Orbach - most famous for being suspected as the source of the psychobabble Princess Diana had produced in televised conversation during her period of greatest stress, but also hugely associated with the DID/MPD/SRA Myth movement. Indeed in 2006 in Commercial Street, London, Ms. Orbach chaired a round-up session with Valerie Sinason and others, at the The John Bowlby Memorial Conference - Trauma & Attachment, which also included contributions from leading Mind Control SRA Myth advocate Sue Richardson (mentioned earlier) whose history in child protection goes back to being the child abuse consultant appointed by Cleveland social services department, just in time for the infamous 1987 Cleveland RAD Scandal (it was she who decided the best thing to do was remove the children whose rectums had been examined by Dr. Marietta Higgs and Dr. Geoffrey Wyatt from their families). Such is the obsession with the right-wing Christian-fundamentalist-derived SRA Myth, that it is virtually impossible for any feminist conference to avoid even accidentally inviting an SRA Myth advocate, albeit if they are now 'getting on' a little in years.
By way of illustration the list of speaking guests for Feminism in London 2010 included Jill Radford, described as a radical feminist and member of the Campaign to End Rape. She has recently retired as Professor of Women’s Studies and Criminology and Director of the Section for the Study of Gender Violence at the University of Teesside.... She is also co-author of Demons, devils and denial: towards a feminist understanding of ritual/satanic abuse with leading SRA advocate and True Believer Dr. Liz Kelly, published in now-defunct feminist periodical Trouble & Strife, volume 22 that itself had enthusiastically adopted the ultra-right fundamentalist-derived 'Myth. Ms. Radford though hasn't written sufficient a body of work in support of the 'Myth to be able to call herself a True Believer.
