The truth about "pathological liars"
Channel: gerlach
Date: 2011-10-26

A veteran psychotherapist describes what causes compulsive dishonesty in adults and kids, and inites you to change "pathological" to "compulsive." This adjective is less shaming and inflammatory, and more accurate. The video includes links to helpful online articles at http://sfhelp.org (e.g. http://sfhelp.org/cx/apps/dishonesty.htm) and to related YouTube videos. "The truth" in this video's title refers to the obsolete and misleading "medical model" of psychiatry, and the mistaken idea compulsions are subject to "logic.".
