PATIENT: Doctor, I fully believe in magic and invisible forces - TopicsExpress



          

PATIENT: Doctor, I fully believe in magic and invisible forces that control my destiny. My entire belief structure...nay, my LIFE and decisions, are all founded in these beliefs. I believe voices speak to me. I believe I can talk to these forces by concentrating really hard, they read my thoughts. I believe in invisible winged people that protect me. I believe in evil demons that can harm me, and that I am being watched and judged by these forces. DOCTOR: My! This sounds very serious...you obviously suffer from dementia, schizophrenia, and delusions...you should be institutionalized immediately, before you do harm to yourself or to others... PATIENT: Oh, wait, I forgot to mention one other, defining thing...these are my RELIGIOUS beliefs. DOCTOR: Oooh, well THAT makes it completely different, somehow. Not only will no one view you as insane, but YOU get to be in charge, and make the decisions that affect EVERYONE!
