Lifeline: False Pretenders

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

Many people are not able to accept themselves as they really are. They exaggerate their language, their lives, and their clothes to bolster their prestige in a way that sometimes approaches actual falsehood. This natural human tendency carried to an extreme produces The False Pretender. His life is based upon deceit, and he may be driven to fraud and crime to maintain the pretence. The problems of such people are discussed by A Consultant Psychiatrist and A Jungian Psychiatrist.
