Modern psychology is basically apologetics for the doctrine of moral relativism within the individual. The individual is seldom responsible for the shortcomings of his life, it's almost always some external culprit that takes the blame. Either it's the familial context, some structural social inequality, or an external event vapidly characterized as trauma. As a Psychologist I've seen this countless times, it's almost as if we are nursing the individual into the notion that no evil exists inside of him, which is an abhorrent and false idea. Evil does exist and we can't always brush it away with a sort of therapeutic language that characterizes every wrongdoing as a "disease" as if to say that people would be free from the consequences of their actions.
