New Q&A on Lies, Deception and the Personalities Behind Them Now Live on InYourRightMind.com

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- "In Your Right Mind," a weekly behavioral health radio program that features in-depth roundtable discussions of today's behavioral health headlines, is pleased to announce a new Q&A feature that's now live on InYourRightMind.com: "Interview: Charles V. Ford, M.D., talks about lies, deception and the personalities behind them." The interview with Dr. Ford, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, focuses on various issues related to lying and deception.

"Lying, by definition, is saying something to someone else which is different from that which you believe to be true," said Dr. Ford. "There's an intent involved – so it's not only the act, it's the intent to deceive by the use of words. Now, what makes it more complicated is that you can tell the truth yet deceive, so the important issue really isn't so much about lying as it is the question of deception."

Dr. Ford discusses the different lies that people tell and issues related to deception, including the role of personality and early life experiences. Dr. Ford also discusses mental disorders that involve pathological lying, the difference between normal and pathological lies and treatment options for persons who are pathological liars.

When Dr. Ford was asked to differentiate between an ordinary lie, a pathological lie and other types of lies that people tell, he replied, "At some level, I think it's in the eye of the beholder – what some people might consider to be a common lie might be viewed by someone else as more of a malignant lie. Part of this depends on your perspective of the world."

For those who would like to follow the broadcast, the show will be available on demand at www.InYourRightMind.com. For questions, contact [email protected].
