In this groundbreaking book, renowned psychiatrist Michael H. Stone explores the concept and reality of evil from a new perspective. In an in-depth discussion of the personality traits and behaviors that constitute evil across a wide spectrum, Dr. Stone takes a clarifying scientific approach to a topic that for centuries has been inadequately explained by religious doctrines. Stone has created a twenty-two-level hierarchy of evil behavior, which loosely reflects the structure of Dante's Inferno. Basing his analysis on the detailed biographies of more than 600 violent criminals, he traces two salient personality traits that run the gamut from those who commit crimes of passion to perpetrators of sadistic torture and murder.
One trait is narcissism, as exhibited in people who are so self-centered that they have little or no ability to care about their victims. The other is aggression, the use of power over another person to inflict humiliation, suffering, and death. What do psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience tell us about the minds of those whose actions could be described as evil? And what will that mean for the rest of us? Stone discusses how an increased understanding of the causes of evil will affect the justice system. He predicts a day when certain persons can safely be declared salvageable and restored to society and when early signs of violence in children may be corrected before potentially dangerous patterns become entrenched.

Sikkert spennende hvis du ønsker å innstifte et bilde av «det onde» (for kanskje selv å føle seg god?). Gir et bilde av mennesket som enten «godt» eller «ondt». Deler oss inn i predeterminerte kategorier. «Narsissist» er det nye pseudosofistikerte skjellsordet som benyttes i dag (før var det mer trendy med «psykopat», men det er blitt litt ut igjen blant de hippeste av de hippe, nemlig blant psykiaterne …). Egentlig bare en måte å støtte opp under systemet på. Blir du kriminell eller voldelig, handler det først og fremst om din onde, elendige natur. IKKE om oppveksten og livserfaringene dine, miljøet du vokser opp i, fattigdom, traumer, understimulering, et elendig skolesystem, sosial ulikhet og misnøye osv.! Nei, det handler derimot om de Onde individene som velger det Onde – enten med sin «Frie vilje» eller med sin forutbestemt onde, syke, uforanderlige og håpløse natur …Oppbyggelig lesning for noen! Kjedelig for andre …
