22. The psychopath as man of the world

The psychopath as man of the world comes from excellent stock and his

educational background includes four years at a celebrated preparatory school and three

at a well-known university. During his student days he took no interest whatsoever in

any of his studies. His shrewdness, his skill at utilizing the work of his friends, from

whose papers he usually patched together his own themes and essays, and his reliance

on cheating in examinations enabled him to stay in the University through his junior

year. His real interests during this period consisted in decking himself with fine clothes

in which to saunter about, in presiding at social gatherings, and in flimsy but pretentious

lovemaking with a large number of prominent young ladies. In the eyes of these and of

their mothers he passed as a dashing beau, almost as an arbiter elegantiarum.

Among his fraternity brothers he was regarded with mixed feelings. Though

better supplied with funds than most of his associates, he did not pay his dues and

seldom his board at the fraternity house where he occupied the choice quarters. These

shortcomings, however, were tolerated, it not entirely overlooked, because of the

urbanity he lent to house parties, his impassioned speeches on the sacred mysteries of

brotherhood, his eloquence and skill in inducing desirable freshmen to join his group,

and the general air of jeunesse dork which encompassed him. Some of his

contemporaries, vexed at finding their dinner clothes or their favorite shoes always on

this peacock at the very time they were most needed by the rightful owner and pressed

to pay dues and other expenses which were higher for others because of his

delinquencies, occasionally grumbled and cynically wondered if this glittering brother

did not have special grounds for his fraternal zeal. His consecration in whipping up

fraternity spirit in less ardent members was notable.

Space forbids a detailed survey of his career. It has been remarkably consistent.

At nearly 50 years of age he finds no difficulty in having always at his beck and call

several women who rush to comfort him and who work incessantly to find new

positions for him each time he loses the last one. For long periods of his life he has

been almost entirely supported by wealthy ladies who entertained him for weeks at

fashionable house parties in summet and at winter resorts and who "lent" large sums of

money to him time after time when he moaned his inability to make a fresh start in life.

He sometimes slept with the wives of his friends but, when a careful study is

made of his life, it appears that he sought a mother-surrogate rather than a mistress or a

real mate. Invariably the relation was one in which the woman served as protectress and

support. His most effective means of

THE MATERIAL 197

winning the favor of these ladies consisted chiefly in becoming maudlin drunk, weeping

like a baby, begging his companion to give him lethal drugs so that he could destroy

himself. and quite generally indulging in theatrics familiar in spoiled children.

In his work as insurance agent, cotton broker, automobile dealer, advertising

specialist, and so on he showed consistent and remarkable capacities for rest and casual

disregard of primary responsibilities. It is true that he made valuable business

associations at the country club, where he played golf or loitered a good part of each

day. These associations often enabled him to make a good living for brief periods, but

no matter how easy the work or how favorable the prospects, he had no serious

difficulty in failing. Nor had he any more difficulty in arousing fresh enthusiasm in

some tender-minded lady, or ladies, to raise money for a new venture or to find some

easy position for him in the business of her friends or relatives.

He usually preferred women older than himself, becoming, in fact, a veritable lion

among dowagers in his community. Young women also have sought to mother him.

The large number of women who appear in his life story have this in common: they

have consistently been of sober temperament and inclined toward domesticity rather

than toward flirtatious, erotically passionate, or promiscuous behavior. This is true of

the younger as well as of his older benefactresses.

Prominent in his plan of life are frequent sprees of drinking which he inaugurates

by a few highballs in pleasant company but continues alone in his own quarters, in a

hotel room, or perhaps in some bawdy house. These episodes sometimes occur without

any objective precipitating cause but often follow some disappointment or reverse. He

seldom fails to get word to the lady who is mothering him at the moment, giving

dramatic utterance to his woe. Strenuous efforts are made to save him. Doctors are

called, friends are sent to reason with him, and the ladies themselves plead. Despite all

this attention, which he appears to relish keenly, he continues to drink, usually not

incapacitating himself but taking enough to keep his protectors active. The spree often

lasts for several days with our hero chiding and complaining, bursting into tears, and

heaping his own self-pity upon the floods of pity which beat about him.

Frequently it has been necessary to send him to general hospitals and occasionally

to psychiatric hospitals, where he finally settles down amidst all sorts of dramatics.

About ten years ago, before the period of these observations, no doubt

perceiving his own advancing years, he married an extremely intelligent widow some

years his elder who had for a decade tried to rehabilitate him and who was generally

regarded as wealthy. Though casually unfaithful to

198 THE MASK OF SANITY

her, he kept up a better front for the two years during which she lived. She spent

money lavishly on him. In addition to this, her fortune was drastically reduced in a

depression, and she died leaving him only enough for a few months of extravagance.

The night after her funeral he spent in a cheap brothel, drinking and weeping and

moaning, apparently for himself.

His ability to alarm and to draw out protective impulses in women is remarkable.

Superficially he gives the impression when with them of a dashing and somewhat

predatory male. He is not entirely without ambition as a lover and actually seduces

some of his protectresses. His approach in seduction is, however, nearly always through

pity.

On one of his recent sprees he called a young widow twenty years his junior and

dramatically bemoaned his plight, insisting that only her influence kept him from

blowing out his brains. Despite her earnest activities to cheer him up he continued to

drink, calling her up from time to time to tell more of his sad state and how much worse

he had become. That evening he came to her house and begged her to give him drugs

with which to dispatch himself, then rushed off crying dramatically that he was en route

to a notorious brothel. In the company of a male relative she followed him there and

exhorted him to go home and sober up. As her pity and distress increased, his firmness

in remaining hardened, and no doubt his pleasure also waxed sweeter.

This case well portrays the astonishing power that nearly all psychopaths and

part-psychopaths have to win and to bind forever the devotion of woman. Because of

this they are often regarded as vigorous or romantic lovers, as men of peculiar virility. I

believe, however, that they are seldom as well endowed in this way as the average man.

Nor do they appear to be as much interested in really erotic aims as most men.

Such things are of course impossible to prove or to demonstrate, but the more

intimately a large number of such people are studied, the stronger becomes the

impression that it is chiefly woman's impulse to mother that they arouse. Feminine

intuition senses that here, concealed beneath an appearance of maturity, is a baby or

something very much like a helpless, crying little baby. Her deep instincts to nurse and

to protect this winsome little darling are unconsciously called out. The superficial

relationship of woman to her lover conceals this fundamental urge. She longs to take

this defenseless creature, hold him to her breast, guard him, shape him, and let him

grow up under her protection. Her feminine intuition, which so accurately divines the

presence of the spiritual baby, fails, alas, to understand that it is a baby who will never

grow up.

    Psychopath Hervey Cleckley THE MASK OF SANITY, Section 2: The Material , Part 2: Incomplete manifestations or suggestions of the disorder, 20. Degrees of disguise in essential pathology, The cases already reported are only a few among many hundreds whom I have observed. All of these people, when their records over the years are considered, strike one as remarkably similar. If the story of each could be told in detail, it is believed that the similarity would become more plain to any reader. It is the contention of the present argument that this personality disorder shapes and hardens into the outlines of a very definite clinical entity or reaction type, into a pattern of disorder quite as recognizable and as real as any listed in psychiatric nomenclature at energyenhancement.org

    Psychopath Hervey Cleckley THE MASK OF SANITY, Section 2: The Material , Part 2: Incomplete manifestations or suggestions of the disorder, 21. The psychopath as businessman, No attempt will be made to give a detailed history of this man. Suffice it to say that the incidents mentioned are not isolated experiences in the general life pattern but rather expressions of a motif which persistently recurs to interrupt the outward serenity. He is now 50 years of age, and he has gone on to achieve considerable business success, being an equal partner in a wholesale grocery concern. As a businessman there is much to be said for him. Except for his periodic sprees, he works industriously at energyenhancement.org

    Psychopath Hervey Cleckley THE MASK OF SANITY, Section 2: The Material , Part 2: Incomplete manifestations or suggestions of the disorder, 23. The psychopath as gentleman, This man, whom for convenience we may call W. R. L., first came to my attention professionally when seen strapped down during hydrotherapy in a continuous tub. There, surrounded by dozens of the most complete madmen an imaginative layman could conceive, he strained, cursed, bellowed, and hurled defiant imprecations at all about him at energyenhancement.org

The psychopath as scientist, Limitations of space allow only a few highlights to be thrown on this mans interesting career. Though still in the late twenties, he was already a doctor of philosophy, and the co-author of several creditable papers on subjects in the general field of physics at energyenhancement.org

    Psychopath Hervey Cleckley THE MASK OF SANITY, Section 2: The Material , Part 2: Incomplete manifestations or suggestions of the disorder, 25. The psychopath as physician, When first seen by me, he was still in his early forties. From the country town in which he was practicing medicine an inquiry came concerning his professional ability. Everyone regarded him as a brilliant man. His patients loved him, and while he was working regularly, his collections were more than adequate. It was often impossible to find him, for now and then, in the classic manner, he lay out in third-rate hotel rooms or in the fields semiconscious until he could be found and coaxed back home at energyenhancement.org

    Psychopath Hervey Cleckley THE MASK OF SANITY, Section 2: The Material , Part 2: Incomplete manifestations or suggestions of the disorder, 26. The psychopath as psychiatrist, In the group who show some fundamental characteristics of the typical psychopath but who make a good or fair superficial adjustment in society are sometimes found men who hold responsible positions. Lawyers, business executives, physicians, and engineers who show highly suggestive features of the disorder have been personally observed. Perhaps one would think that the psychiatrist, with good opportunity to observe the psychopath, would eschew all his ways. I believe, however, that a glimpse can be given of characteristics of the psychopath in such a person at energyenhancement.org
