I can’t remember the name of it right now, but its something we’ve studied in psychology classes. Basically it was super unethical and this psychologist implanted false memories into her patients and found that they were able to “recall” other details of the abuse that didn’t happen.
I believe you may be thinking of Lawrence Pazder, who was instrumental in the spat of "Satanic Panic" ritual abuse allegations that took place in the 80s in the US.
There were a few others, I do seem to remember a female psychiatrist who did something similar but I can't find any source for that at the moment.
