Calling Evil Evil

Regarding Rick's post about the NYT's article last week discussing evil, I wonder whether the NYT may be overstating it when it says that most psychiatrists assiduously avoid the term evil.  My sense it that it is more than just a few rogue forensic scientists who are willing to recognize the existence of evil.  I just finished attending a workshop on Carl Jung and the Spiritual Exercises.  When I brought the article to the attention of the person running the workshop, his comment was that the most interesting discussions of evil occuring today involve not moral theologians, but psychologists and psychiatrists. 

As I understand it, Jung himself was critical of Christians for being too naive about evil.  Jung thought it important not to underestimate the fact that there is an archetypal shadow, a collective force that moves us to disintegration and alienation.
