"Pamela Meyer"

"How to spot a liar."

On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by those trained to recognize deception — and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving.

In the addiction world, we sometimes shy away from the term "liar", rather we've been told an "untruth", or it was fault of denial.

But no matter what we call it, getting to the truth results in facilitation success for your client.
