This is not just promoted by psychics, but by some reputable psychiatrists/psychologists as well. The books below are worth reading:
Soul-Centered Healing: A Psychologist's Extraordinary Journey Into the Realms of Sub-Personalities, Spirits, and Past Lives.

Thanks. i've read soul centred healing. Some other good books are -
The unquiet dead - By Edith Fiore
Schizophrenia or Spirit Possession
by Mr Mike Williamson
Ghosts And Earthbound Spirits: Recognise and release the spirits trapped in this world
by Linda Williamson
Spirit Releasement Therapy: A Technique Manual
by William J. Baldwin, Edith Fiore
Healing Lost Souls: Releasing Unwanted Spirits from Your Body
by William J. Baldwin
Many others. Lets also not forget Shamanism.
Step away from the orthodox/mainstream, dig a bit below the surface, & there are vast areas to these experiences. i've done a lot of reading & research into a lot of different areas - spirit release, depth & transpersonal psychology, philosophy, comparative religion, consciousness studies (NDE & OBE), Esoteric & Occult areas, all sorts.
These areas can also cover -
1. Shamanic crisis
2. Awakening of Kundalini
3. Episodes of unitive consciousness (Maslow's "peak experiences")
4. Psychological renewal through return to the center (John Perry)
5. Crisis of psychic opening
6. Past-life experiences
7. Communication with spirit guides and "channeling"
8. Near-death experiences (NDEs)
9. Close encounters with UFOs and alien abduction experiences
10. Possession states
11. Alcoholism and drug addiction
i've also worked with some highly competent spiritual healers over the past 13 years.
This is one of the more interesting documents i've come across as to what is happening in psychosis/schizophrenia from a more metaphysical perspective (links on left) -

It is still hard to come to any categorical answers/conclusions. Personally i accept the diagnosis & take the pills. i have made a lot of progress, but i also feel that there are still certain difficulties.
i don't think anyone has a categorical answer to these experiences/conditions. Best i can come up with is an integral/holistic approach & understanding - that there are the realms of the spiritual, psyche & physical. That we are mind, body & soul within environment & effected by all levels. i take a bio/psycho/social/spiritual model - i don't see things as 'either/or'. There are variables (interrelated/interdependent) on physiological/biologic, psychological/emotional, social/environmental & spiritual/transpersonal levels.
How i see it all anyway.
A good book that acknowledges the psychiatric & spiritual, by an expert in both is - 'Healing the split' by John Nelson.
