The Exorcist - The Power of Belief in Exorcism
Dr. Barringer: [[w:exorcism|exorcism]
There is one outside chance for a cure. I think of it as shock treatment - as I said, it's a very outside chance...Have you ever heard of ]? Well, it's a stylized ritual in which the rabbi or the priest try to drive out the so-called invading spirit. It's been pretty much discarded these days except by the Catholics who keep it in the closet as a sort of an embarrassment, but uh, it has worked. In fact, although not for the reasons they think, of course. It's purely a force of suggestion. The victim's belief in possession is what helped cause it, so in that same way, a belief in the power of exorcism can make it disappear.

You're telling me that I should take my daughter to a witch doctor? Is that it?
