Reviews
Dr. Ford integrates his vast material to produce a coherent view on the intrapsychic functions of deceit, especially the regulation of self-esteem, and to delineate the complex interrelation of lying and self-deception. He has succeeded in a wonderful task: writing a book that provides fascinating and practical insights for the psychiatrist, as well as a scholarly work that will appeal to any intelligent reader interested in the subject., "Mark Twain observed that there are 'lies, damn lies, and statistics.' Dr. Ford does not treat us to a statistical analysis. Instead, based upon his rich clinical research and acumen, plus an impressive review of relevant literature, he offers a comprehensive and thought'provoking treatise on dissembling and dissemblers. I found it enormously entertaining and informative. It has meat for the clinician and nourishment for the public as well. It should become a standard reference on the subject, and that's no lie!"- Robert O. Pasnau, M.D., Professor and Assistant Dean, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angles, California, "This book is an extraordinary, well-written treatise on deception and self-deception. It is provocative and important because it captures the width and breadth of an ever-present part of human conditions-lying."- Psychiatric Times, "To say that Dr. Ford's book about lying is provocative would be far from stretching the truth. This is a challenging but nourishing book, to be read and debated with friends, relatives, and others."- Healthline, " Lies! Lies! Lies! is written in easy, unelaborate prose and is strikingly free of jargon.... [This book] is intended for and will be of interest to the informed general reader, but it can be particularly recommended to physicians who so often need to look at others and into themselves to winnow facts from deceit."- JAMA, "Dr. Ford integrates his vast material to produce a coherent view on the intrapsychic functions of deceit, especially the regulation of self-esteem, and to delineate the complex interrelation of lying and self-deception. He has succeeded in a wonderful task: writing a book that provides fascinating and practical insights for the psychiatrist, as well as a scholarly work that will appeal to any intelligent reader interested in the subject."- Washington Psychiatry, This book is an extraordinary, well-written treatise on deception and self-deception. It is provocative and important because it captures the width and breadth of an ever-present part of human conditions -- lying., "This combination of clinical information, societal definitions, and thought-provoking humor makes for an entertaining work that maintains the reader's interest through wide-ranging topics.... Lies! Lies! Lies! does meet the stated objective of taking a close look at the psychology of deceit and is a valuable and sound addition to the library of those who study human behavior."- Psychiatric Services, To say that Dr. Ford's book about lying is provocative would be far from stretching the truth. This is a challenging but nourishing book, to be read and debated with friends, relatives, and others.

Synopsis
Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! The Psychology of Deceit looks beyond compulsive liars and considers the ongoing flood of lies that we as human beings experience every day. 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., This work on lies and deceit looks beyond compulsive liars in society to consider the flood of mistruths that we experience every day. The book asks, Who lies?, and comes up with the answer, Everybody lies . It explains how we learn to lie (and detect deceit) as a developmental task., 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. Ford'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. 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.

The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet. If I have a complaint, it is that the seller will not respond to specific questions about a listed item before the purchase..too many orders to do so! 🙁The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood―and America―Learned to Stop Worrying an (#387783000754)
