An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine
the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental
health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully
interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic
psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of
"evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful
to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among
the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations
as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a
constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil
when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on
forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a
psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of
interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."
