Excerpt: ... act ii Sometime in the middle of the year 221 A.d. The scene is the cubicula nocturna, or bedroom, of the Emperor in the Palace. Time: 10 P.M. A rather shallow and crowded apartment, with doors at the left and upper right, and a single window at the right. The Romans, of course, did not have beds of the sort we sleep in today. The thing they used was a sort of chaise-longue--that is, it had no foot-board. Heliogabalus' bed is to the left of the spectator, with its back against the back wall and its foot facing the footlights. Beside it, separated by a space of no more than two feet, is the huge bed of his wives. It is, in design, exactly like his own, but it is at least 20 feet wide. The bed-clothing stretches unbrok enly from side to side of it, but there are separate pillows--twelve of them, each embroidered with a large monogram in purple. The pillow with the "L" for Lucia is nearest Heliogabalus' bed. In the narrow space between this huge bed and Heliogabalus' there is a small night table, and on it are a lamp and a bottle of water and goblet. This lamp furnishes the only light in 73 the room. Twelve clothes-racks, piled with finery, are at the extreme right. As the curtain rises, Heliogabalus is propped up in bed, reading a scroll by the light of the lamp. Lucia is the only occupant of the other bed. She is lying near the middle of it, and is thus about 10 feet from Heliogabalus. Heliogabalus, still holding the scroll in one hand, reaches over, pours out a goblet of water, looks at it sourly, makes a face, heaves a sigh, and drinks it. Heliogabalus What stuff! No wonder I've still got the stomachache. Slowly rolling up the scroll as he gives it a final scrutiny Hm--hm--hm--... lucia After a pause, sleepily What have you been doing, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1941 under the title Mask of Sanity: An Attempt to Clarify Some Issues About the So-Called Psychopathic Personality, this influential book became a landmark in psychiatric case studies and was repeatedly revised, expanded and reprinted in subsequent editions—here we present the 3rd edition published in 1955. The Mask of Sanity is distinguished by its central thesis that the psychopath exhibits normal function according to standard psychiatric criteria, yet privately engages in destructive behavior. The book was intended to assist with detection and diagnosis of the elusive psychopath for purposes of palliation and offered no cure for the condition itself. The idea of a master deceiver secretly possessed of no moral or ethical restraints, yet behaving in public with excellent function, electrified American society and led to heightened interest in both psychological introspection and the detection of hidden psychopaths in society at large, leading to a refinement of the word itself into what was perceived to be a less stigmatizing term, “sociopath”.
