Part I: Evil: Discussion I - The Garden -- Entering the domain of evil -- The nature of the Serpent in Paradise: Who or what is the Serpent? -- Theological references to evil -- Philosophical references to evil -- Psychoanalytic references to evil -- Part II: Discussion II - Individuals and Societies -- Hitler and genocide -- Stalin and genocide -- Turkey's genocide against Armenians -- Sample of other 20th century genocides: Bangladeshi, Cambodian and Rwandan.
For all our knowledge of psychopathology and sociopathology--and despite endless examinations of abuse and torture, mass murder and genocide--we still don't have a real handle on why evil exists, where it derives from, or why it is so ubiquitous. A compelling synthesis of diverse schools of thought, Psychoanalysis of Evil identifies the mental infrastructure of evil and deciphers its path from vile intent to malignant deeds. Evil is defined as manufactured in the psyche: the acting out of repressed wishes stemming from a toxic mix of harmful early experiences such as abuse and neglect, profound anger, negative personality factors, and mechanisms such as projection. This analysis brings startling clarity to seemingly familiar territory, that is, persons and events widely perceived as evil. Strongly implied in this far-reaching understanding is a call for more accurate forms of intervention and prevention as the author: Reviews representations of evil from theological, philosophical, and psychoanalytic sources.
