While it may be a new term, your (correct in my mind)
application of it to Thompson shows that the lit it applies
to is not new. His books are full of psycho/sociopaths who
are deluding, or trying to delude, others and sometimes
themselves.
And it's an ongoing tradition, Dave was too modest to suggest
his own Fast Lane as a great contemporary example.
