N2  - Several types of falsification may be encountered in the clinical setting, including lies, pseudologia fantastica, delusions and confabulations. I will review these phenomena in the psychopathology literature and propose five criteria to facilitate classification of a falsification. I will then present case histories that illustrate the relationship between the type of falsification and the clinical psychiatric diagnosis.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
