Abstract
This paper delves into the different approaches in the treatment of social disorders from multiple perspectives, including alchemical, Jungian, and biblical approaches. By exploring the narrative of demonic possession in biblical texts, we investigate the concept of mental and spiritual illness, contrasting it with contemporary psychological and psychiatric views. The role of spiritual entities, mind viruses, and the significant function of psychotherapists in addressing societal mental health crises are examined. This paper also draws on the depiction of these themes in Iranian cinema, particularly the film “The Kingdom of Solomon,” as a cultural reflection of these ideas.
