Vampires, Werewolves, and Demons

Vampires, werewolves, demons, and other supernatural manifestations of evil are almost universally thought to be extinct. But in the last ten years, cases of mysterious "supernatural" afflications have appeared with increasing frequency in the published reports of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals. In this volume, a noted clinical psychologist presents and analyzes a selection of such cases, drawn from well-respected professional publications from around the world. Mr Noll's commentaries weave together lay and professional perspectives and place supernatural images in the context of our genetic, biochemical, and neurophysiological understanding of mental disorders.
