Sanity: A protean concept.

Cleckley, Hervey

Pages: 19 –26

This chapter discusses the protean nature of the concept of sanity. While most patients suffering from one of the classified types of mental disorder are promptly recognized by the psychiatrist, many of them being even to the layman plainly deranged, there remains a large body of people who,...

Traditions that obscure our subject.

Cleckley, Hervey

Not as single spies but in battalions.

Cleckley, Hervey

Pages: 35 –38

An attempt to determine the incidence of this disorder in the population as a whole is opposed by serious difficulties. The vagueness of officially accepted criteria for diagnosis and the extreme variation of degree in such maladjustment constitute primary obstacles. Statistics from most...

Tom.

Cleckley, Hervey

Pages: 90 –97

In this chapter the author describes a psychopathic patient named Tom. This young man, twenty-one years of age, does not look at all like a criminal type or a shifty delinquent. In fact, he stands out in remarkable contrast to the kind of patient suggested by such a term as constitutional...

George.

Cleckley, Hervey

Pages: 98 –105
