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. In The Science
of Evil 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.

Based largely on Baron-Cohen's own research, The Science of Evil will
change the way we understand and treat human cruelty.
