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.This book analyzes the science behind pathological lying by synthesizing historical and contemporary writings, clinical case studies, psychopathology theory, and large‑scale research into a single, cohesive source for researchers and clinicians.

Following an outstanding review of the literature, the authors use case histories and examples, historical and current, to bring the concept of pathological lying to life. This scholarly but easy-to-read work extends the forceful argument for recognizing pathological lying as a diagnostic entity in the DSM.
By parsing pathological lying from everyday normative and prolific lying, Curtis and Hart make a valuable contribution to both clinical psychology and the study of deception. Not only do they build the case for pathological lying as a distinct diagnosis that is more than just the symptom of other pathologies, but they also help us to understand that not everyone who tells a lot of lies is suffering from a mental disorder. This book will go a long way toward correcting the frequent and casual misuse of the term “pathological liar.”
Curtis and Hart provide the much-needed definitive treatise on pathological lying. They have changed how I understand pathological lying. I recommend their book to everyone interested in the topic.
Until now, our understanding of the pathological liar has been fragmented, confusing, and obscured by stigma. Finally, the picture is clearer! Curtis and Hart bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to provide an engaging book that draws on scientific evidence to help us understand the pathological liar—what makes them lie and approaches to reducing their lying and the negative impact on close personal relationships.
Scholarly. Primarily intended for psychologists and psychiatrists who are mental health practitioners, academics, and researchers who want a cohesive and synthesized scientific account of pathological lying.This book is the gold standard; in its contribution to our understanding of pathological lying, nothing else compares. Curtis and Hart have brought order to a confused, disorganized, but deeply significant topic. Their research is cutting-edge, and their recommendations for the assessment and diagnosis of pathological lying are impressively justified and badly needed.
The most frequent question we deception researchers are asked is, “What about pathological liars?” Now we can answer, “Buy this book.” It fills a gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of theory, research, and clinical practice related to pathological lying, and is written in a very accessible style.
