1983 M. Scott Peck: "People of the Lie." Famously devoutly Christian M.D. Psychiatrist, author of huge best seller "The Road Less Travelled," takes on the development of a set of criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis of "evil." "People of the Lie" is a pretty striking read in the aftermath of the Trump presidency, to say the least. p. 177: "...suppose she had been the employer rather than the employee. Suppose she had inherited...a whole corporation to manage with her devious destructiveness....At one point I defined evil as "The exercise of political power...in order to avoid...spiritual growth." (Give her a husband, a child...ugly tragedy.) "GIVE HER A NATION and she would likely have been a Hitler or an Idi Amin." Caps mine. ff, like, goosebumps. Then there's the question, why does my skin crawl at a glimpse of T., and roughly 4 out of ten people are numb to his flagrant creepiness? Dr. Peck calls it the "revulsion" response to evil, and identifies it as a survival instinct.
