This book analyzes the science behind pathological lying, and offers important lessons for research and clinical practice.
Curtis and Hart expertly synthesize and unify historical and contemporary writings and research on pathological lying, into a functional and cohesive resource for researchers and clinicians.
By offering a succinct, theory‑driven, and empirically corroborated account of this disorder, the
authors aim to provide clinicians with the tools they need to more accurately identify and effectively treat patients.
For a hundred years, research on pathological lying has been fragmented and diffuse; as a result, the disorder has been called by different names and characterized in innumerable ways, with no formal definition or diagnosis.
Recently, there has been a re‑emergence of research examining pathological lying, which has helped establish research
markers, categorical distinctions, assessment profiles, and clinical parameters.
