Description
According to Freud, man is born with an innate tendency to destruction and violence. Psychoanalyst Gruen challenges that assumption, arguing instead that at the root of evil lies self-hatred, a rage originating in a self-betrayal that begins in childhood, when autonomy is surrendered for the "love" of those who wield power over us.
