What is The Science of Evil : On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty about?
Borderline personality disorder, autism, narcissism, psychosis, Asperger's: All of these syndromes have one thing in common--lack of empathy. In some cases, this absence can be dangerous, but in others it can simply mean a different way of seeing the world. <p>In <i>The Science of Evil</i> Simon Baron-Cohen, an award-winning British researcher who has investigated psychology and autism for decades, develops a new brain-based theory of human cruelty. A true psychologist, however, he examines social and environmental factors that can erode empathy, including neglect and abuse.</p> <p>Based largely on Baron-Cohen's own research, <i>The Science of Evil</i> will change the way we understand and treat human cruelty.</p>
