Therapy gone wrong lead to wide scale witch hunts across the U.S. in the 1980's that dwarfed the Salem Witch trials. A huge number of therapists had come to believe the now mostly debunked "recovered memory" theory to construct the idea that there were networks of secret Satanists across the U.S. that needed to be weeded out. Countless lives were destroyed. I've yet to see therapy as a profession come to terms with the damage they did.

"These people are credentialed professionals so I'm sure they're fine" is an extremely dangerous and ahistorical position to take.
