This two-volume text reviews spirit possession throughout history,
analyzes case studies from a cognitive neuroscience perspective,
and examines rites for exorcism. From the beginning of civilization
to the present day, and across all major religions and cultures,
there have been documented cases of people seemingly overtaken by
an unseen entity. The invading force-whether good or bad-appears to
replace the possessor's soul with the spirit's own persona,
resulting in mystifying symptoms such as levitation or other
supernatural feats, speaking in tongues, and even horrific and
inexplicably accelerated physical distortion and deterioration.
This is a two-volume chronological history and examination of
spirit possession that addresses its phenomenological,
psychological, and neurobiological aspects, and its effects on
societies. Volume one reviews spirit possession from the upper
Paleolithic era to modern times, while Volume two focuses on case
studies and rites of exorcism. Provides a comprehensive
bibliography of materials that gathers historical, anthropological,
and archaeological sources, as well as comparative religionist and
neurologic literature Contains indexes that reference key religious
events, rituals, and personalities, and cross-reference key
characteristics of case studies
