Trick or treatment?

Now personally I prefer my spirits in a glass but in a bizarre story in Emirates Today it seems that some UAE practitioners are seriously treating the mentally ill by casting out demons.
Now call me a radical modernist but didn't this "treatment" go out with the middle ages?

Now I agree that the western way of treating the mentally ill is not always successful but it is at least generally based in scientific understanding at the time, and surely has a better chance than blaming imaginary fiends.

It is very easy to look at Dubai and see a first world city, the truth is that very close to the surface is a tribal society still believing and practicing the old ways......I wonder how this will sit with healthcare city?
