LIES AND DECEPTION

Clinical psychologist and writer Dorothy Rowe, renowned for her work in understanding the problems of depression and fear, has transformed many lives. Her new book is Why We Lie. Rowe looks at the reasons for lying and the damage that it causes. She addresses the role that lies have played in climate change and the global economic crisis, where many people prefer to continue lying rather than acknowledge that we are facing an uncertain but undoubtedly unpleasant future unless we learn how to prefer the truths of the real world in which we live rather than the comforting lies that ultimately betray us. Rowe asks: “We are capable of changing, but will we choose to do this?”

"Dorothy Rowes is the calm voice of reason in an increasingly mad world."
Sue Townsend

Dorothy Rowe is a world-renowned psychologist and writer. Her explanation of depression gives the depressed person a way of taking charge of their life and leaving the prison of depression forever.

She shows how we each live in a world of meaning that we have created. She applies this understanding to important aspects of our lives, such as emotional distress, happiness, growing old, religious belief, politics, money, friends and enemies, extraverts and introverts, parents, children and siblings.

Her work liberates us from the bamboozling lies that mental health experts and politicians tell in order to keep us in our place and themselves in power.
