دانلود کتاب شیطان در ذهن – روانشناسی آسیب رساندن به دیگران

It’s been over 20 years since I first created and taught a course called Psychology of Evil. As a quite new faculty member of the Department of Psychology at St. Jerome’s University (part of the University of Waterloo, Canada), the course seemed like an odd- but- logical fusion of my research interests in the psychology of religion and my clinical interviewing experiences in a maximum- security prison. It was a happy coincidence that my course planning coincided with the release of Roy Baumeister’s thought- provoking Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty. That book has had a lasting impact on my thinking— and as the adopted course textbook, on literally thousands of my students. With two more decades of human history behind us, the topic of evil seems no less relevant. But because there’s been more thinking and (a lot!) more relevant research undertaken in that span, now seems like as good a time as any to revisit the topic from a psychological perspective. Before we launch into that, however, it makes sense to give you some idea of what to expect— and what not to expect— in this book.
