Psychoanalyst Gruen argues that at the root of evil lies self-hatred, a rage originating in a self-betrayal that begins in childhood, when autonomy is surrendered in exchange for the "love" of those who wield power over us. He traces this pattern of adaptation and smoldering rebellion through a number of case studies, sociological phenomena, and literary worlds.
