About the Book

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.

Review :
Baron-Cohen's professorial background shines through in the book's tone and in step-by-step, engaging prose urging both academic and lay reader alike to journey with him in scientific inquiry.-- "Publishers Weekly Starred Review" "The Science of Evil contains a huge amount of useful information for a rather short read...it's an important early step in building a more robust understanding of our species at its most horrific." -- "Boston Globe" "A book that gets to the heart of man's inhumanity to man... Baron-Cohen has made a major contribution to our understanding of autism." -- "Guardian " "Baron-Cohen's professorial background shines through in the book's tone and in step-by-step, engaging prose urging both academic and lay reader alike to journey with him in scientific inquiry." -- "Publishers Weekly, starred review" "Clearly written and succinct, this book will enrich but not overwhelm interested readers...provides a useful perspective for understanding human pathology, including events like Columbine and the Holocaust." -- "Library Journal" "Rigorously researched...[Baron-Cohen's] discussion of how parents can instill lifelong empathy in their children is particularly useful." -- "Psychology Today"
