Among Moroccan migrants in the Netherlands and their interpretations of the mental health of and mental disturbances among adolescent daughters, evil is seen as a supernatural power that arises primarily from dealing with spirits, the evil eye, or sorcery. This evil comes from outside or from outsiders, i.e. those who do not belong to the same family and want to inflict harm. This relational interpretation of evil not only fits a relational view of the world but also absolves individuals and family members of any blame or responsibility. Thus, the family continues to be a solid unit while potentially problematic behavior is blamed on evil coming primarily from outside—from outside the individual and from outside a person’s extended family. This worldview clashes with that of Dutch medical and social workers whose methodologies are based on individual biological assumptions that allow no room for the evil powers of popular religion.
