Lies!, Lies!!, Lies!!! : Psychology of Deceit

This text looks beyond compulsive liars in our society and considers the ongoing flood of lies that we as human beings experience every day. We learn to lie and to detect deceit as a developmental task.The author´s philosophy is that lying is part of the bridge between one´s internal world (beliefs, perceptions, expectations, fantasies) and one´s external world (reality): lies work not only to deceive others but to deceive ourselves.
