What all of these stories provide is evidence that the demonic realm is real. It exists. However, given Jesus' redemptive action through His death and resurrection, it has been defeated. Christians have the authority to confront this defeated, but still active, demonic darkness to set its captives free.
The author does not provide a theological nor a clinical psychological theory about such darkness and the deliverance from it, but he presents true experiences (with names changed) that he has had. Anyone building theological or psychological explanations of the demonic would have to take such experiences into account. The author provides many of them in his book.

Those who think they might be influenced by such darkness should also find this book helpful to understand what is going on. They may be able to free themselves or at least become aware of their need for assistance.
