The book

About the book

The split between exorcism and medicine has caused great confusion. This separation has made it impossible to understand what belongs to which. This idea has also led the human being to believe that we are victims, either of demons, or of eating the wrong foods or of any other type of physical behavior. As a result, we have impeded medical doctors from considering the psychological life in their treatment and dissuaded exorcists from accepting medical treatment and medicine in their process.

If exorcism worked as the exorcists generally think it does, the possessed would be free of their demons after a single session. This does not happen, however, and in fact, the process can drag on for years, illustrating the need for treatment of the psyche as well.

Are demons real, or only symbols of human attitudes? Keppe's answer is neither of the easy ones — the devil as a sick, not an all-powerful, being.
