Imagine that you are a psychologist working in private practice in the U.S. You have a new client from a non-Western culture who claims that her problems are the result of evil spiritual forces that are emitted from her mother-in-law. Would you consider this client delusional?

Yes, but only if this person is relatively educated and integrated in the American culture.
