Hervey M. Cleckley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (167 words) |
 | Hervey M. Cleckley was the pioneer of the research of psychopathy. |
| 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. |

| Whatever they are called their principal characteristic as far as society and the individuals who have to deal with them are concerned is that they do not have a conscience (a lack that is hard for some people to conceptualize and that is hard to measure). |
| Maybe the cases that Cleckley saw in which no suicide occurred were cases involving younger people (many of them men in prison) who did not perceive themselves as getting near old-age-death. |
| It is interesting that Hervey M. Cleckley was a co-author with Corbett H. Thigpen of The Three Faces of Eve, and that Hil was evaluated in Augusta, Georgia, by Thigpen many years ago. |
