This article analyzes the relation between exorcism as practiced by the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (Universal Church of the Kingdom of God) and psychological treatments. Previous studies of the IURD have examined the tripod cure, relations between exorcism and prosperity, and women's roles. The current study is unique in comparing the "Sessão do Descarrego" (discharge session) with the treatment of psychological problems. Fieldwork was conducted with women of different ages with the following characteristics: frequent IURD attendance; explicit complaints of psychological problems; and previous participation in one or more exorcism rituals. Analytic Psychology provided the concepts used for data analysis.
