In this landmark book, Brazilian psychoanalyst, Norberto Keppe, offers a scientific study of the link between possession and psychopathology. Keppe's contention is that the disastrous idea perpetuated in both medicine and religion that strange manifestations in the human being are completely physical, and only occasionally spiritual is allowing malignant spirits free rein in their spurious influence over human beings. Keppe's innovative therapeutic perspective is that this mistake must be corrected for humankind to have any chance of returning to a normal peaceful and abundant life.

She poses disturbing questions: How do we depend on order, when chaos is a necessary part of existence?
