CASE 8
Summary: A thoroughly illustrative case of long continued,
excessive pathological lying on the part of a very bright girl,
now 17 years old. As this young woman has well known, her
falsifications have many times militated against the fulfillment
of her own desires and interests. In the face of clear
apperception of her fault, the tendency to react to a situation
by lying sometimes appears to be fairly imperative. The only
ascertained bases of the tendency are her early reactions,
unthwarted by parental control, followed by habit formation; all
in an environment peculiarly favorable to deception.
