About the Course

Dr. Goldberg provides a thorough and fascinating investigation of the evolution of evil. He argues that malevolent deeds are no more a product of mental illness than they are compelled by Satan. People do not turn into Hitlers or Jeffrey Dahmers overnight, but rather they “learn by doing,” he asserts. In other words, how we have responded to earlier choices shapes our moral (and immoral) choices now and in the future.

**This course is based on the book, Speaking With the Devil: Exploring Senseless Acts of Evil created by Goldberg, Carl, Ph.D.  **

Course Material Author
