Everyday Evils: A Psychoanalytic View of Evil and Morality

Coline Covington ’75 takes a psychoanalytic look at the evils committed by “ordinary” people in different contexts, from Nazi concentration camps to Stockholm Syndrome to atrocities of the Islamic State, presenting new perspectives on these deeds and the extreme ways in which we deny the existence of evil. Everyday Evils (Routledge) talks about group behavior, morality, trauma and forgiveness within a multidisciplinary framework.
