Hervey M. Cleckley

Encyclopedia : H : HE : HER : Hervey M. Cleckley

The pioneer of the research of psychopathy was Dr. Hervey Cleckley who released in 1941 a book called The Mask of Sanity: An Attempt to Clarify Some Issues About the So-Called Psychopathic Personality. Later on, Dr. Robert Hare came up with his Psychopathy Checklist to assess the main characteristics of psychopathic behaviour. Later Cleckley co-authored (with Corbett Thigpen)The Three Faces of Eve (1956), which book became the basis for the 1957 film starring Joanne Woodward.
