MASS-MURDER AND THE DENIAL OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY
Mass-murder lies at the heart of the historical process (photos of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Napoleon are below). Men and societies that kill large numbers of people "make history." Killing large numbers of people assures that a leader and its society will be remembered and "written up in the history bookS."
Psychiatrists write about a "social anxiety" disorder--and hundreds of other "disorders." Yet nowhere do we find a "war disorder" or a "genocidal disorder."
Profound psychopathology lies at the heart of "history." Yet neither historians nor psychiatrists use terms like psychopathology to characterize the monumental self-destructiveness of human beings as members of society.
Mass-murder lies at the heart of human history. Denial os psychopathology lies at the heart of our documentation of history
