I also recall a recent posting in which someone mentioned a link between psychology and demonology, with some implication that this was an archaic idea. Among Szasz's other books is `The Manufacture of Madness', a sort of social history in which he compares modern psychotherapy to withcraft. I always recommend Szasz to anyone considering a long-term investment in psychotherapy. He has done his homework and gives you a perspective that is a substantial departure from that of the layman.
