Synopsis

Very little advancement in the treatment of delinquents or criminals can be expected if typical characteristics and their bearings on behavior are not understood. The whole study of characterology or the motivation of conduct is extremely new, particularly in their forensic and psychological significance. It is these characteristics that are addressed here. In some cases, it is vital for the administration of justice for us to understand the types of personality and behaviors before rendering a final judgment. Some appreciation of this fact may be gained from this book which shows the possibility of tracing one form of behavior to its source.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

William Healy (1869-1963) was an American physician, psychiatrist, and pioneering criminologist best known for his groundbreaking work in juvenile delinquency, criminal psychology, and behavioural disorders. Trained in medicine and neurology, Healy became one of the earliest figures to apply psychological and psychiatric methods systematically to the study of criminal behaviour.He founded the Chicago Juvenile Psychopathic Institute in 1909, one of the first institutions devoted to the scientific study of juvenile offenders and behavioural pathology. His work helped shape modern approaches to forensic psychology, child guidance, criminology, and psychiatric social work. Through detailed clinical observation and case-study analysis, Healy sought to understand the complex psychological and environmental causes underlying antisocial behaviour and criminal conduct.
