Dr Phil and Pathological Lying
Happened to tune in today on this show and Dr Phil interviewing a couple wherein the boyfriend/husband is
a pathological liar.

Dr. Phil detailed the lies this man has told to this girlfriend/wife from over a period of years including the charge by the byfrnd/husband even charged his partner with kidnapping over states lines of one of their children.
Other lies were just tremendous confabulations almost too
hard to believe in some cases.

I'm not a big fan of Dr Phil and most likely his show serves some kind of purpose of which I do not know because I don't follow the show so whatever I saw today is pretty much how he deals with people's deep underlying problems.

I was very interested in watching the reactions of this chap being in the hot seat when confronted by Dr. Phil who had
been lying since the age of 6 and now in his early 30 something.

His body language centering around his face was truly revealing- flushing, some eyetwitching, cheek muscle twitching and lip movement but most of all flushing.
That guy's blood pressure must have been sky-high after
being publicly confronted esp on tv.

After hearing Dr. Phil slam & slam again this horrible behavior of this individual I started to feel sorry the
lad.

Somehow it seemed to me there was something in his infancy , and young childhood and how his parents treated him as a young child and his family dynamics at the time that created this monster of lying shame to cause him lifelong masochistic humiliation on being found out.
The other problem was the gf/wife-she was too stupid in
love to assert her own reality even for the sake of her children against this guy.wtf

Pathological lying is not something that you just "do" it's a behavior with origins in the psyche.

It was painful to watch .

I hope he gets the help he needs.

Hopefully after being put thru the wringer with Dr. Phil, he will get the help he needs.
I agree with you.....this stems from something....stress etc. that happened to him in his child hood.

as a follow up to my original post I include an interesting blog from the Menninger Clinic on "pseudological fantastica"

[link to saynotostigma.com]

and a more scholarly and technical approach of 37 pages by Allen Schore for those who wish to delve deeper in this phenomenon.

Re: Dr Phil and Pathological Lying
you will never know where you stand with a liar, my father was a liar, he would say anything to anyone in promis, so they would think he was going to help them, but really he would get from them what he wanted and never do what he promissed. he would look you in the eye and say he never said that. when he died, the big lie was that he stoll the family property into his will, then gave it away to complete strangers. which meant it had to go to court, and the court carved it all into money and stole 90% of it legally.
