Abstract: “It is noted that among psychopaths who show personality deviations in some fundamental respects 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. The author believes, however, that a glimpse can be given of characteristics of the psychopath in such a person. The author here presents the case of a psychiatrist with psychopathic tendencies and describes the various manifestations of his personality disorder.
