Synopsis
This classic monograph on pathological lying, accusation, and swindling from 1915 contains a review of the literature to date, a series of twenty-seven case studies, and conclusions. The Healys were the first to concentrate almost exclusively on juvenile cases, and explore and analyse their causes and antecedents, using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. Although outmoded in terminology and social attitudes, this work offers a fascinating insight into the realm of pathological lying and approaches to forensic psychology in the early twentieth century. This volume has been carefully hand-edited and re-indexed to be clear and complete.

Présentation de l'éditeur
“All pathological liars have a purpose, i.e., to decorate their own person, to tell something interesting, and an ego motive is always present. They lie about something they wish to possess.”
This historic and groundbreaking work describes and analyzes several cases of pathological behavior. The importance of this book comes not only from the individual cases, but also from the analysis which is mired in what we now know to be erroneous thinking about mental illness, sexuality, gender, and race of its time.
“As practically nothing up to the present has been written on the subject in English, this book is a very welcome contribution to psychiatric literature. Throughout, the authors assume a very conservative and careful attitude in their discussions and conclusions. May the conscientious author of ‘The Individual Delinquent’ – which must be regarded as a truly epoch-making work in criminology – continue to scatter broadcast the germs of his rich experience with the juvenile delinquent.” -Meyer Solomon, The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Volume 11, 1916

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
