Everyday Evils: A Psychoanalytic View of Evil and Morality

Author: Coline Covington (Darwin 1975)

Publisher: Routledge

Everyday Evils blends psychoanalytic concepts with sociology, history, anthropology, philosophy, theology and studies of violence to look at the evils committed by “ordinary” people in different contexts. Ranging from discussion of Nazi atrocities and the horrors of Islamic State to the consequences of Stockholm Syndrome, this book will appeal to scholars from across disciplines as well as anyone who has ever asked the question:"How could anyone do something like that?" Coline Covington is a Jungian analyst in private practice in London. She is former Chair of the British Psychoanalytic Council and a Fellow of International Dialogue Initiative.
