Founding Rector of Üsküdar Üniversitesi, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, invites readers to question the dynamics of evil at individual, societal, and global levels with his new book Psychology of Evil and Toxic Relationships, published by Timaş Yayınları. While the book draws attention to the increasing prevalence of evil, malicious language, and toxic relationships, it emphasizes the importance of a life focused on meaning and values.

Knowing evil and taking precautions against it

Starting with the motto “He who does not know evil falls into its trap,” Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan thoroughly examines the benevolent and malevolent tendencies within humans, stating that the first step to preventing the normalization of evil is to recognize it. Tarhan expresses that individuals must be vigilant against the traps of evil both in their inner worlds and in daily life, professional life, and social relationships.

It addresses the neurobiology of evil with its mental evidence… 

The book addresses evil tendencies with neurobiological and mental evidence within a framework aimed at understanding the human self and ego. While detailing personality types prone to evil, it specifically explains how the behaviors of individuals with antisocial (psychopath, sociopath) and narcissistic personality structures can lead to toxic effects. Tarhan emphasizes that the development of a healthy superego minimizes the likelihood of committing evil and activates the individual's conscience mechanism.

Hierarchy of values and solution proposals

The book also touches upon the consequences of the disruption of the hierarchy of values at societal and individual levels. Tarhan aims to guide readers towards a faith- and meaning-oriented way of life by offering good and value-focused solutions to these problems.

A work that sheds light on the inclination towards evil…

The book is a work that sheds light on the human inclination towards evil at a time when events that wound the societal conscience are increasing. In the book, Tarhan brings up issues that we need to consider at individual and societal levels to avoid committing evil or falling into its traps. By blending data from modern psychology with faith-based approaches, it offers individuals a powerful guide to understand both themselves and their surroundings.
Timaş Yayınları tarafından yayımlanan “Psychology of Evil and Toxic Relationships”, serves as a comprehensive guide aiming to raise more conscious individuals in a world where evil and good collide.
