A book of supreme importance to any sufferer of mental illness: Can mental illness have a spiritual cause? Do spirits have the power to control our moods and thinking?Having experienced a terrifying bout of depressive psychosis in his teens after a 'bad trip' on LSD, the author sets out a compelling case that his mental illness derived from the demonic realm.What you ought to know about mental illness: The author eloquently describes the abstract weirdness of his psychosis; its sudden onset and the temptation to suicide as well as the miraculous release from its horror prompted by a chance meeting in a local bar.Freed from the crushing agony of depression from what he believes was divine intervention, Mr Poskitt describes what it feels like to lose one's mind - and the joy of regaining it - providing evidence for a demonic cause as well as a spiritual cure for mental illness. This book is written for those of you who are open to the very real possibility that some types of mental illness are more than conditions with purely biological causes and that there exists a fine line between the psychiatric and the paranormal. Mental illness sufferers can receive this priceless gift but few discover it: Funny, frightening, challenging, hopeful and unapologetically un-PC; if you or a loved one is enduring the misery of mental illness it's time you understood your plight is not unique and that a door can be shut permanently on 'insanity' without the long-term use of drugs and medications. Get the power to tackle your mental illness one page at a time:Based on his own experience the author provides a self-help list of life enhancing choices you can make to restore mental health and happiness.

The goal of this book is to help change misconceptions that have historically pervaded Christianity by educating both laity and clergy about serious mental illness. It will accomplish this goal via an in-depth, exegetic examination of biblical accounts of what may have been untreated serious mental illness from the perspective of a psychiatrist and Christian. This in-depth examination will demonstrate that 1) serious mental illness was likely present and relatively common in biblical times, and similar in phenomenology to how it manifests today, and 2) that some instances of demon-possession and exorcisms as described in the Bible could, in a post-Enlightenment narrative, be better explained by occurring in the context of untreated mental illness, and that this could reveal a great deal of information about the biblical view of mental illness. Some of these accounts are from the Old Testament and some from the New Testament. Each essay will provide an in-depth examination of the biblical account from the perspective of a board-certified psychiatrist who is an expert in the field of serious mental illness and who is also a practicing Christian.

Belief in possession, including from demonic forces, has ancient roots and continues into the modern world, especially among certain communities. This has been shown in books, movies, places of worship, and in the therapy office. This book traces the global history of possession and looks at ways contemporary mental health professionals can help a person who believes themselves to be possessed. Written especially for clinicians, but interesting to a wide variety of readers, this book uses a variety of disciplines, including cultural studies, psychology, and personal experiences, to try and understand the phenomenon from as wide a perspective as possible, including interviews with exorcists from various backgrounds. Both believers and sceptics will find this to be a fascinating study of a controversial topic.

A man has two episodes of demonic possession several years apart. His detailed experiences are analyzed from a psychological, theological, historical, parapsychological and cross-cultural perspective. Signs and symptoms of demonic possession mimic mental illness. Ruling out mental illness is prerequisite for an exorcism. A detailed psychological analysis is explored to arrive at the proper diagnosis, i.e. differentiating mental illness and demonic possession. The criterion used by the Catholic Church to diagnosis possession such as revealing hidden knowledge, speaking or understanding a foreign language unknown to the possessed, abnormal strength, levitation, telepathy and psychokinesis are explained. Deliverance ministries are dealt with skeptically but are provided guidelines. Ministers and counselors are provided information on discernment to help identify demonic possession. Occult practitioners and Satanists are discussed relevant to demonic possession. Novel experiments with electromagnetic equipment are used to accommodate and disrupt demonic possession. Bioelectrical energy, electromagnetic energy, geomagnetic fields and ectoplasmic demonic energy are delineated. Psychological treatment strategies are provided for counselors, demonically possessed and those who are diagnosed with mental illness.

The author offers a look at depression in which he draws on his own battle with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, researchers, doctors, and others to assess the complexities of the disease, its causes and symptoms, and available therapies. This book examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations, around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. He takes readers on a journey into the most pervasive of family secrets and contributes to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition.

The legendary bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, whose books have sold over 14 million copies, reveals the amazing true story of his work as an exorcist -- kept secret for more than twenty-five years -- in two profoundly human stories of satanic possession. In the tradition of his million-copy bestseller People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil, Scott Peck's new book offers the first complete account of exorcism and possession by a modern psychiatrist in this extraordinary personal narrative of his efforts to heal patients suffering from demonic and satanic possession. For the first time, Dr. Peck discusses his experience in conducting exorcisms, sharing the spellbinding details of his two major cases: one a moving testament to his healing abilities, and the other a perilous and ultimately unsuccessful struggle against darkness and evil. Twenty-seven-year-old Jersey was of average intelligence; a caring and devoted wife and mother to her husband and two young daughters, she had no history of mental illness. Beccah, in her mid-forties and with a superior intellect, had suffered from profound depression throughout her life, choosing to remain in an abusive relationship with her husband, one dominated by distrust and greed. Until the day Dr. Peck first met the young woman called Jersey, he did not believe in the devil. In fact, as a mature, highly experienced psychiatrist, he expected that this case would resolve his ongoing effort to prove to himself, as scientifically as possible, that there were absolutely no grounds for such beliefs. Yet what he discovered could not be explained away simply as madness or by any standard clinical diagnosis. Through a series of unanticipated events, Dr. Peck found himself thrust into the role of exorcist, and his desire to treat and help Jersey led him down a path of blurred boundaries between science and religion. Once there, he came face-to-face with deeply entrenched evil and ultimately witnessed the overwhelming healing power of love. In Glimpses of the Devil, Dr. Peck's celebrated gift for integrating psychiatry and religion is demonstrated yet again as he recounts his journey from skepticism to eventual acknowledgment of the reality of an evil spirit, even at the risk of being shunned by the medical establishment. In the process, he also finds himself compelled to confront the larger paradox of free will, of a commitment to goodness versus enslavement to the forms of evil, and the monumental clash of forces that endangers both sanity and the soul. Glimpses of the Devil is unquestionably among Scott Peck's most powerful, scrupulously written, and important books in many years. At once deeply sensitive and intensely chilling, it takes a clear-eyed look at one of the most mysterious and misunderstood areas of human experience.

In his book Possession: What the Psychiatric Community Doesn't Want you to Know About Mental Illness, Dr. Augustus explores the relationship between certain mental illnesses and demonic possession. The psychiatric profession considers such a discussion taboo—indeed even the suggestion that evil spirits may influence the actions of the mentally ill is seen as an evidence of mental instability in itself.The spirit world, they argue, is nothing more than myth—a throwback to a more primitive age that 21st century man should abandon in favor of enlightened psychology. This is where evangelical Christianity and psychology clash.Indeed, this is where the facts of the crimes of such notorious killers as the Son of Sam and Adolf Hitler clash with the accepted paradigms of psychology and science—crimes that are so horrendous that they cannot be explained outside of a belief in the supernatural realm of the spirit world. The juncture of where these worlds collide is the focus of this book.
