en-wikipedia-org-7740		M. Scott Peck - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	5565	446	67	Morgan Scott Peck (1936–2005) was an American psychiatrist and best-selling author who wrote the book The Road Less Traveled, published in 1978. First published in 1983, People of the Lie: The Hope For Healing Human Evil (ISBN 0 7126 1857 0) followed on from Peck's first book. Peck discusses evil in his book People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil,[8] and also in a chapter of The Road Less Traveled.[7] Peck characterizes evil as a malignant type of self-righteousness in which there is an active rather than passive refusal to tolerate imperfection (sin) and its consequent guilt.[7][8] This syndrome results in a projection of evil onto selected specific innocent victims (often children), which is the paradoxical mechanism by which the People of the Lie commit their evil.[8] Peck argues that these people are the most difficult of all to deal with, and extremely hard to identify.[8] He describes in some detail several individual cases involving his patients.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7740.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7740.txt
