The many faces of deceit

Deception is ubiquitous - commonplace in our everyday interactions, part and parcel of our legal system and political culture. Yet few have studied its role in therapy. In The Many Faces of Deceit, Drs. Helen Gediman and Janice Lieberman show how unsuspecting therapists can miss omissions, lies, and outright imposture that can insidiously infiltrate and fundamentally alter the therapeutic process. Covering extensive clinical material, including the dilemma of supervising those who fabricate their work, the authors consider deception in its many varieties, alerting clinicians to its presence and guiding them in helping patients overcome the deceitful tendencies that can render therapy meaningless.
