Summary: An intriguing study
Review: The reasons for violent behavior elude modern psychological theorists: psychoanalyst Goldberg's ideas laid out in The Evil We Do are based on four decades of clinical experience and present case studies of irredeemable and dangerous people to show how even the worst can be rehabilitated. An intriguing study.

Summary: If only you had read this book ....
Review: This book succeeds where others have failed in describing the origins of human suffering. It is not merely an exlanation of physical violence, but a well-written account detailing numerous forms of psychological problems, including addiction, alienation, loneliness, depression, despair, shame and abuse. It offers credible methods to understand today's most frightening concerns, such as school shootings and workplace violence. It also offers a way out. Exceedingly well-argued, Dr. Goldgerg's writing displays a convincing depth and breadth of knowledge. It is really quite masterful. Truly, this is one of those few books that one hopes becomes widely read , for the truths it contains.
