MONSTERS IN LIFE and LITERATURE: A Forensic Psychologist Reflects on the Nature of Good and Evil

Before becoming a Jungian analyst, Dr. Peter Demuth was a Senior Forensic Psychologist, having spent decades studying, evaluating, and treating violent criminals. He now shares with you what he has learned about human violence and the potential for evil, applying his forensic experience and his Jungian depth training to famous literary stories of monsters.

 Dr Demuth explores the stories of literary monsters whose driving characteristics will inevitably manifest in the lives of actual individuals. Each story is told and discussed in depth, and the monster’s level of psychopathy and potential for rehabilitation are rated. Dr. Demuth is a compelling storyteller himself, and you will find yourself fascinated—and reflecting on the dark side of human nature that is a potential in each of us and in those we encounter in everyday life.
