"Pathology of Lying, Accusation, and Swindling: A Study in Forensic Psychology" by William Healy and Mary Tenney Healy is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the psychological underpinnings of pathological lying, false accusations, and swindling, offering a comprehensive analysis of these behaviors as they pertain to criminal psychology. The authors aim to illuminate the characteristics of individuals who engage in these compulsive behaviors, providing insights that are vital for understanding their implications in legal contexts. At the start of the text, the authors introduce the complex nature of pathological lying, emphasizing the need for precise definitions and a clear understanding of the behaviors associated with it. They argue against conflating pathological lying with other mental health issues, aiming to identify it as a distinct trait. The introduction outlines the various motivations behind these behaviors and their social significance, underscoring the urgency of thorough studies, including case histories, to facilitate recognition and treatment of these issues. This foundational portion sets the stage for the intricate case studies that will follow, which seek to explore the interplay between mental health and criminal behavior, particularly in young offenders.
