Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!: The Psychology of Deceit

Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! The Psychology of Deceit looks beyond compulsive liars in our society and considers the ongoing flood of lies that we as human beings experience every day. Who lies? Not just children politicians advertisers and salespeople. Our co-workers lie. Our friends lie. Our relatives lie. And we lie to them. Everybody lies. We learn to lie and to detect deceit as a developmental task. Dr. Fords philosophy is that lying is part of the bridge between ones internal world (beliefs perceptions expectations fantasies) and ones external world (reality). Lies work not only to deceive others but to deceive ourselves. This book shines a spotlight on an understudied phenomenon that affects us all as we raise children choose a relationship move forward with a career path or buy a used car.
