Spirit possession phenomena have interdisciplinary clinical and diagnostic aspects relevant to health care and pastoral fields. Empirical data on possession states and deliverance ministries are limited and scattered across academic disciplines. The paper offers practical insights for initial evaluation and management of individuals seeking spiritual or psychological assistance. Ongoing collaboration between pastoral and health care specialists would benefit further research.
