Hervey Cleckly and Psycopathic Behaviour
[ send me this essay ]
Hervey Cleckley (1941) wrote in The Mask of Insanity a plea for the public to try and understand a range of antisocial personality disorders that he referred to as psychotic “for want of a better word.” The definition of various “high order” psychotic disorders continues today, many giving credit to Cleckley for his original use of the word psychotic in a recognized and accepted treatise (Lively, 1998). With the categorization of high order psychotic behaviour, it would behoove society to take note of Cleckley’s arguments. However, society continues to ignore his basic tenets that psychotic behavior is not clinically treatable. 4 References. jvCleckl.rtf

He is constantly in trouble at school; his dark anger brought him to juvenile court on assault charges filed by his stepmother. Bill's assessment revealed that his risk levels were not so severe that state-supported inpatient treatment could be justified, but it was clear he could not return either to his mother's or father's home. He did have an alternative, and one that worked for him. Bill is a very real character; the paper contains no fiction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
