Joseph J FreemanJoseph Freeman researched the subject of evil in relation to psychopathy for sixteen years, and his book Of Pathics & Evil: A Philosophy Against Malice, is the culmination of that research. Mr. Freeman's insightful approach to the subject of psychopahy differs from all other books on the subject from four standpoints: (1) it is a compilation of personal accounts from psychopaths themselves and from their victims; (2) he has cleared up the frustrating problem of distinguishing the differences between the psychopath, the sociopath, the narcissist, and the psychotic; (3) he has consolidated these four terms under the inclusive term, "pathics"; (4) he has brought to the foreground an awareness of pathic behavior in both women and children, which has been mostly in the background of (psycho)pathic studies; and (5) he explores the phenomenon of the pathic character in relation to the subject of evil as inherent to human nature.
