Exploring the intersection of magic, witchcraft, and religion, the book delves into the belief that supernatural powers are derived from pacts with the devil, as propagated by the Church. It distinguishes between witches and warlocks, who are seen as malevolent figures, and trained professionals like doctors and psychologists, who are likened to modern witchdoctors. The narrative challenges conventional views on magic, highlighting the societal misconceptions surrounding practitioners of the occult versus those with formal training in healing and psychological care.

Exploring the role of folk wisdom, the book examines how refrains serve as valuable tools in analyzing unconscious processes and defenses within psychoanalytic discourse. It integrates insights from various theoretical frameworks, including psychology, linguistics, and folklore, demonstrating their clinical application through detailed vignettes. By highlighting the interplay between these perspectives, the text underscores the effectiveness of refrains in the therapeutic context of both individual and group psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
