It was "People of the Lie." Chilling, but it also helped explain a lot of questions about my family of origin.

I read several of them more than twenty years ago, when I was getting involved in The Episcopal Church, and immersed myself in everything I could find about it.  At least one, I think more than one, had a very chilling section on Exorcism.  He is a Psychiatrist, an MD, and well-trained in the basic discipline and viewpoint, but his viewpoint is much wider than that, and spiritual.  You can find his books listed on Amazon.com.  Unfortunately, I can't remember which had the most coverage of Exorcism.  It would have been of those published before about 1995.
