Advanced Search

Hervey M. Cleckley was an American psychiatrist and a pioneer in the field of psychopathy. His book 'The Mask of Sanity,' first published in 1941 and revised through the 1980s, offered the first clinical description of psychopathy. He expanded the term beyond its current understanding, suggesting that psychopaths can appear normal and even charming while masking mental disorders. Cleckley's study of a living case, published in 1956 and later adapted into the film 'Three Faces of Eve' in 1957, popularized the diagnosis of multiple personality disorder in the U.S. He significantly influenced the understanding of psychopathy.
