Reviews
In a rapidly changing world incredible technological advances constantly expose us to news of man's inhumanity to man and make us witnesses to the most unpleasant events. It is very important that the causality of such disturbing human behavior is explained by those who study the human mind. With references to various psychoanalytic perspectives and by examining frightening individual and societal cases this book provides significant insights for seemingly unexplainable human stories. -Vamik D. Volkan, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and the author of Enemies on the Couch: A Psychopolitical Journey Through War and Peace Ultimately, I felt that the most important insight from this edited collection is that evil is inevitably contrasted to the good; one cannot conceive of evil, without the good. Indeed, confronting evil is surely what makes us truly human. - Henry Abramovitch, Israel Institute of Jungian Psychology for the Journal of Analytical Psychology
