What i always thought was interesting is the Catholic Churches stance on exorcism.

They'll still do exorcisms. However the person has to go to a psychologist first and the psychologist as to say there is nothing wrong with them psychologist wise and are in fact possessed or something.

And do some psychologists actually agree to let them go through with it?

Every once in a while I think.  I mean if the psychologist can't diagnoss them with anything chances are they're faking... or it's something where letting an "exorcism" happen won't hurt. 

I mean Placebos work afterall.

Yeah I suppose the placebo effect would go a long way to helping someone that was convinced it would work.

Possibly... But considering how deeply psychologically afflicted people often attribute the voices in their head to God, I'm not sure how benign a placebo effect suggesting the notion that god personally healed you through an exorcism might be.
