What is a brief summary of the essay, Toward a Pathology of the Possessed?

In “Toward a Pathology of the Possessed,” Wang details the 1988 murder of a schizophrenic man named Malcoum Tate by his sister Lothell. Lothell murdered her brother after he threatened to kill her two-year-old daughter, whom he believed “had the devil in her” (28). The essay also examines California Assembly Bill #1421, which allows for the involuntary hospitalization of the mentally ill. Wang believes this bill denies people with mental health conditions their right to autonomy.
