PSYCHOLOGICALLY dysfunctional people sometimes claim to be supernatural characters, and behave accordingly. Some attract a large following; others die in obscurity, perhaps in mental hospitals. Here is a fascinating collection of cases of such disordered people, written by a psychiatrist whose interest in religious delusions spanned five decades. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Clark was Outpatient Director of Western Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, and Clinical Professer of Psychiatry at Hanneman Medical College.
