Drew Curtis, PhD, of Angelo State University, and Christian L. Hart, PhD, of Texas Woman\u2019s University, authors of a new book on pathological lying, talk about what drives \u201cbig liars\u201d to lie, why they believe pathological lying should be classified as a mental health disorder, whether liars really are more prevalent in some professions, such as politics and sales, and how you can recognize lies and protect yourself from being duped.\n For transcripts, links and more information, please visit the\xa0Speaking of Psychology Homepage.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
