The Lucifer Effect – How Good People Become Bad: Implications in the Mental Health/Forensic Setting
This webinar is for individuals interested in understanding how good people can be influenced to do bad things within specific social and organizational contexts.
The Lucifer Effect is the process by which regular, otherwise good people do bad things within the context of a dominating social situation facilitating this transformation. Social psychology giants such as Phillip Zimbardo and Roy Baumeister have provided insight into this unsettling process and enlightening guidance on restoring goodness.
This presentation explores the Lucifer Effect within the mental health setting, arguing for and highlighting the marked importance of ethical leadership at every step in the organizational structure.
