Abstract
Previous literature has found that therapists, like clients themselves, occasionally conceal or even lie about their thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors. Findings of the present study indicate that therapists who primarily work with children are, according to their self-reports, as frequently dishonest as therapists who primarily work with adult clients.
