He earned a bachelor's degree at Princeton University in Classics, Phi beta Kappa, winning the class Stinnecke Scholarship Award in Latin and Greek. After teaching and playing basketball in France, he came back to the U.S. for medical school and eventually trained as a resident in psychiatry at Yale University.
He is the longest-standing member of the International Association of Exorcists since the early 1990's, serving for a time as a scientific adviser on its governing board. He has devoted many years to distinguishing the rare cases of overt demonic attacks from the much more common conditions of medical and psychiatric disorders. In this capacity Dr. Gallagher has undoubtedly seen more cases of possession - many quite harrowing - than any other physician in the world.
He lives in Westchester, N.Y., after serving for many years as the county's psychiatric emergency and crisis director.
I’ve had many sessions similar to Dr. Gallagher.
It’s time for this battle to become public as the weeds are now sprouting and the battle has begun.
An honest comment...
Anything’s possible, but maybe it was time for something to happen, real or perceived, after that lengthy 25 year investment.
Likely mentioned somewhere, but no doubt that particular event was recorded, right?
I thought it said “demonic fees.”
Thanks...just what I need is another book. I’ll never get to read all the other ones I have in my bookcases before I die. This one sounds fascinating though. I may have to get the Kindle copy. By the way, did you happen to watch the first season of “Evil” on CBS? It’s the first thing I thought of when I read the book description on Amazon. It’s a pretty spooky show. The only other program I watch on CBS is SEAL Team.

Thank you for posting this!
bkmk for later
Its most definitely ramping up and had been since about 2010, even more so in the past year
This particular battle is not one anyone should seek out unless you are called to join it. Do not gaze into that abyss merely for curiosity’s sake,
The more we look the more power they receive, this is why God did not allow images, evil spirits would attach and receive worship,
Those kind that rattle chains down the stairs at 3 AM are not the ones ruling over entire nations and moving in and out of world leaders and that institute power over the Earth after the workings of Satan who is continually seeking to enthrone his beast kingdom over the Earth,
What did you think? Based on what I am reading here, I am thinking about getting it on Audible (with my October credit), but want to get the opinions of others first.
Note tagline.
We are so screwed.
“world’s leading psychiatric authority on demonic possession”
I “psychiatric authority” is a bit of a contradiction in terms.
Crazy is crazy.
The “devil” is in us all. We dont really need to invent “demonic possession” when humans have enough evil in them as part of our nature.
Possession is fake. It’s an attempt to excuse and a proxy for the evil within us. Exorcism is an elaborate fakery.
Thanks. This sounds interesting.
From what little I know about Catholic exorcisms, I know that the church requires the subject to be screen for medical and psychological causes of their behavior, so it will be interesting to read about the experiences of one of these screeners.
Bttt
I had an encounter with a spirit in college.
My roommates and I were all experiencing footsteps, objects being moved and that feeling of someone present in the house with us.
Then one day, my girlfriend, roommate and I were talking in the upstairs bedroom when an ashtray flew off a 4’ high shelf and landed on the floor in the middle of the room by our feet about 8’ away.
The activity was increasing. Now there were cold spots and whispers.
I came home one night walked into my room and knew it was there. I demanded that it show itself.
It did later when I was woke by a touch. When I opened my eyes there was a black apparition in the shape of a human standing over me. It stood up straight, moved toward the end of my bed and vanished through the closet door.
In my anthropology class, I learned that the street they were digging up next to our house was over the original cemetery. They had dug up bones and asked the professor to help with the relocation project.
I moved out.
Ghosts, spirits, demons exists. I know first hand.
If he were really convinced that demon possession is real, he would no longer be a psychiatrist. The world views of the spiritual and mental health are diametrically opposed.
