How can you get him to admit to things you already found when he is a pathological liar?
There is not much one can do if their partner is a pathological liar. Pathological liars know they are liars, but cannot seem to find a way of breaking this bad habit. Often pathological liars have low self esteem and can dramatize certain scenario's to make themselves seem self important and while this may work for a little while it does not fool many people. Pathological liars also have a difficult time in relationships and will lie about simple things they have done and will not own up to it. You can either put up with a partner who is a pathological liar or leave the relationship and the latter is the best way to go because you will find it difficult to believe them and once lied too it breaks the bond of trust between the two people and the relationship will eventually end.

After reading this you believe your sister is a textbook pathological liar because EVERY characteristic listed she has so what is the best way to help them see their problem and get help?
First of all, it is almost impossible to influence family members to get help for their problems. It is too easy for them to deflect your comments back in your direction. This is true of even everyday advice, and the more serious the issue the less likely you are to be able to effect change. Pathological lying is falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime.1 It is different from other forms of lying, in that the lie seems to be the reason in itself, rather than an attempt to deceive. Often the person believes all or part of the lie himself. Pathological lying should not be confused with lying for a purpose: to get one's own way, avoid repurcussions, manipulate, etc. These may occur often, but they are not pathological lying. At present there is no legal definition, and no treatment that is known to be effective. ____________________ 1Charles C. Dike, MD, MRCPsych, MPH, et al.. "Pathological Lying Revisited".

Is there a term for compulsive lying like a nymphomaniac or kleptomaniac?
Compulsive lying, or pathological lying, is a common disorder often caused by low self-esteem and a need for attention. Often, the liar does not realize how often he or she is lying because it becomes second nature. Compulsive lying alienates friends and loved ones and often brings about the opposite of what the liar wants: instead of getting the attention they often crave, they end up pushing people away. With therapy, many people can overcome their compulsion to lie and salvage their interpersonal relationships before it is too late.
How do you identify a pathological liar?
I don't know for sure, but I do know someone who, when asked a yes or no question, will NEVER answer simply yes or no. That way they cannot be held accountable for the truth at a later time. They will use words like "probably" or "kinda" or "maybe". "I don't know" is a common response, too. This way, when you want to discuss what was said at a later time, they will be able to tell you, "That's NOT what I said." And they can say, "YOU don't know what you're talking about. Am I on the right track? This is the liar that has been confronted many times about what they have said, so they will rarely out and out "LIE". But they don't tell the truth, either. JB
What are the best way of telling someone that he is a pathological liar and he can really believe it and go for help?
This isn't easy and the person may know and just be taking advantage of you?Traditionally sit down and talk to them about it.I think perhaps if you kept a diary of their lies and showed it to them.However they may not be a pathological liar especially if your the only one he's lying too?If your completley positive that they're suffering from this condition you can phone their dr and discuss your concerns. The dr can't discuss his medical information with you but he can listen to your concerns and make him an appointment raise the issue with him and refer him to a psychiatrist. x
