Book on Pathological Lying
“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.”
— Aldert Vrij, PhD, Professor of Applied Social Psychology, Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth
“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.”
