Abstract
Deliberate deception by a patient in psychotherapy is a deviation from a fundamental requirement of the patient-therapist relationship. When deceptions are discovered or admitted, it is crucial to analyze them for their value in understanding conflicts, transference relationships, and current stresses. These issues are illustrated with a case involving an elaborate deception carried out over several months by a patient in psychotherapy.
