I gotta say...another day, another ted talk. but this one ranks high in my book. If we actually have a way to root out evil from people who aren't even breaking the law...then thats a win for all of us
I've heard several people now make the case that violence or 'evil' should be treated as a public health issue as opposed to moral judgments which seems to be the current paradigm, and I find myself agreeing due to the advantages it offers, including it being more scientific approach which will guarantee better results overall.
I truly appreciate the way Dr. Welner breaks it down to everyday evil. In a sense we have all been perpetrator and victim at some point in our lives. What causes someone to turn to the most extreme of responses is I belief a complete loss of hope in humanity and loss of faith in themselves. Very enlightening !!
As a person who has suffered a lot of "everyday evil", with little to no recourse because It was not actionable in court, I appreciate this paradigm shift toward societal intervention before the need for punishment. I also like that Dr. Welner looks at both viewpoints, asking us to answer the same questions regarding our actions toward others.
Finally, a talk about something new!! Time to stand up to the people who put others down for their own personal gain! The law only goes so far unless you break it!
6:42 "Bernie Madoff wouldn't meet criteria for narcissism or pschopothy"?? Wrong! He actually does. And this Dr. is making exagerated claims that are misleading.
and if you want me to elaborate, they work especially in diagnostics, medications and prognoses. Not sure re US but in UK the psychiatrist is a key member of a multi disciplinary team (which also includes psychologists, nursing staff, therapists etc) that works with each patient in a forensic unit.
This guy, who I think is great, supports Trump, so I know all the bedwetters at TEDx will disdain him in time. It takes a courageous person to support Trump, because Trump provides plenty of fodder for criticism. Us Trump supporters are taking something of a leap of faith in supporting him.

Interesting idea. I applaud the initiative this doctor takes in recognizing evil outside of the criminal scope.

Who is this guy? Does he have accessible published work? I have been saying this stuff for 30 years! This needs to be spread as far as possible!

forensics is usually done by psychologists, not psychiatrists. the idea of a forensic psychiatrist is bizarre.
Simply untrue.
Matt Slack care to elaborate?
that's absolutely not true, psychiatrists play a significant role in forensics

Genuinely interested in where you stand two years (or so) later. It's now May 1 of 2018.
I supported Trump then - still DO!
