To misquote another noted psychiatrist: "sometimes a goth is just a goth"
The public interest in "possession" seems to be rising linearly with the practitioners of exorcism. This doctor seems to condemn exorcists of different faiths though - the horrific re-birth deaths that are a throwback to "if she dies, then she wasn't a witch, so it's ok because her soul is good" - without producing any evidence that non-catholic exorcism has a greater success rate.
As an aside, there's is a whole slew of similar click bait medical articles on WaPo, which seems really out of character for an established news source...
