In that case, you won't enjoy the September, 1997 issue of _Psychiatric Annals_, which was devoted to the psychiatry (and biology) of "wickedness": Neither the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) or the DSM recognize wickedness as a mental disorder. However, most wicked behaviors are antisocial and qualify for the diagnostic code V71.01 (antisocial behavior). However, by definition of the V code, this qualification does not make the wicked behavior a mental disorder. Ways in which psychiatrists can contribute to treating wickedness are also discussed." --David Epstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Haroun, Ansar.
