THE PSYCHOANALYSIS OF EVIL
** New Class **
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious”
(Carl Jung)
When studying Psychology proper, you will follow a standard outline of the usual topic areas and research. And that’s the problem. Psychology stays too much in its lane. The discipline describes the brain and human behaviour, but it rarely – if ever – goes beyond human behaviour. Except for Milgram’s work into obedience, and Zimbardo’s studies, very few psychologists explore, consider, or allow for the possibility that evil exists as something more than a description of human behaviour.
Even in Psychoanalysis, very few researchers are willing to broach the subject. Most everyone stays in their comfortable cot of explaining adult behaviour according to a childhood trauma or other experience. Courtrooms use terms like ‘diminished responsibility’ or ‘psychotic episode’, and may describe the behaviour as evil, but no-one points directly to the possibility that what they are looking at is evil personified – an entity unto itself. But where does the human end and the non-human begin?
The analyst whose writing explores the subject is Carl Jung, who recognised that there was something beyond the ordinary psychological shadow. Jung writes that while it is possible for a person to recognise the relative evil within their own nature, “it is a rare and shattering experience for a man to gaze into the face of absolute evil.” In my own research and experience, I can testify!
Compelled to cast every demon into the light, where it must invariably disappear, and to teach everyone else how to, my work moves into precisely this territory, unrestricted by academic gatekeepers and social pressure. I explain what happens in the human mind, how someone can go so far beyond the boundaries of morality that darkness overtakes their soul. Not in a temporary insanity, but as a residency. This is not simply about trauma, pathology, or the mechanisms of ordinary human behaviour. It is about what happens when something darker takes hold and becomes the governing force within the individual.
In the upcoming class in Forensic Psychology, I’m fully explaining the classic vampire and witch archetypes in my analysis of Epstein and Maxwell, and Letby and her doctor boyfriend. I’ll be showing where the usual folie à deux takes on a whole other level of darkness that goes beyond the human mind’s capacity to fathom it.
In what will be an entirely unique contribution to collective comprehension, I will be explaining the behaviour, its aim, and most importantly, the driving motivation – which will stun you!

All illumined things,
