b'Is it possible that some people who we think are mentally ill are actually victims of demonic possession? \\xa0One psychiatrist says yes. \\xa0Another psychiatrist says no - believing this is true is a matter of not carefully thinking about what you see and hear from others. \\xa0In this episode I break down the claims made by Richard Gallagher and a counterpoint to Gallagher which was written by Steven Novella. \\xa0Along the way we\'ll learn about logical fallacies such as the "argument for incredulity" and the "argument of ignorance". \\xa0I think you\'ll find this fascinating and I\'d love to hear your thoughts on this.'
