According to the Author...
According to M. Scott Peck... The reality of the matter is that the naming of evil is still in a primitive stage. Be that as it may, the time is right, I believe for Psychiatry to recognise a distinct new type of personality to encompass those I have named evil. In addition to the abrogation of responsibility that characterises all personality disorders, this would specifically be distinguished by: (a) consistent destructive, scapegoating behaviour, which may often be quite subtle. (b) excessive, albeit usually covert, intolerance to criticism and other forms of narcissistic injury. (c) pronounced concern with a public image and self-image of respectability, contributing to a stability of life-style but also to pretentiousness and denial of hateful feelings or vengeful motives. (d) Intellectual deviousness. Is there a society living on a media frenzy that may create markets of goods that cater to mindsets and the associated value systems that can be best described in the four bullet points outlined above? If so, it may mean that the media frenzy or addiction that is feeding into an existing emotionally dependent state of mind or creating it, is being purveyed by the parallel consumer markets for goods. Who can lose their feet and peaceful tranquillity by highlighting such an unusual cycle of technological and material dependence? Is this the best way to describe the x, y or "undefinable" generation? M. Scott Peck looks at these issues in one of his books entitled People of the Lie, 1983, p. 129.
