Was Anneliese Michel truly possessed by demonic forces, or was
she suffering from a more earthly psychological affliction such
as an extreme case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with
Scrupulosity, epilepsy, PTSD or Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis?
Tonight we examine this case from the solely scientific, clinical
angle with our interview of Dr. Jennifer Sy, Ph.D. of the Houston
OCD Program. Dr. Sy is a licensed clinical psychologist with
training in cognitive-behavioral treatment of mood and anxiety
disorders. She received a BA in Cognitive Science from Dartmouth
College in Hanover, New Hampshire, and her MS and Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology from the University of Wyoming. She has
published on cognitive/behavioral mechanisms and exposure-based
treatment of social anxiety, specific phobias, and panic. In the
end, however, even with a diagnosis that seems to cover many of
her symptoms, those who allow themselves to consider
possibilities beyond flesh and blood may wonder if the truth of
Anneliese Michel will remain forever hidden between the worlds of
the natural and the supernatural.
