OH yeah, the counselor and Ryan had some interesting commentary about her during the 'psychological disorders' talk. She kept that household in a semi-permanent state of hysteria- she was just like some creepy vampire sucking up the drama and fear she was instilling in this house. Also the whole cross inversion incident- they had all gone out to dinner except for the husband- he was home. The PSU team pretty much assumed that it was him who did it, but none of that showed on the airing. Once the family cleaned up that sty and got rid of the cow (sticking with the farm analogies!). The fear and depression generally lifted and life got better for them. There was also an issue of severe depression (the slovenliness is a prime indicator) due to loss of employment- which also changed once they took action. It was that sense of helplessness and the very human monster feeding into the drama that caused the whole problem.

Interestingly, exorcisms can be very efficacious for it's theraputic effects ;-)
