Summary
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.
