The person is either in "denial" or a chronic or compulsive liar. Some people that are in denial actually believe they are not guilty of what you accuse them of (even if you catch them) and may say things like, "You misunderstood me" or "I didn't say at all ... you're imagining things" and will become quite stubborn and agitated. Compulsive liars lie because they lack self esteem and dramatize their life's events to make themselves self important in the eyes of their peers. All people lie to some degree, but most of the time the lies are white lies. Example: A girlfriend asks you if you like the her hair dyed red and you really don't like it, but find yourself telling her that she looks great. It's to spare her feelings and you realize it's only your opinion and not necessarily the opinions of others. People in denial or compulsive liars know they are and will lie over the silliest things. They are almost child-like. Although there is therapy for this unless the individual is willing (on their own) to seek therapy it's best to end such a relationship because you'll never trust what they say ever again. Because they are in denial and need help, and usually find themselves doing that

focuses on scientific research and empirical evidence, rather than philosophical theory.

Unfortunately, the human mind is not as simple as your question implies it is. Infact, it is much more complex. We thus cannot estimate another person's characteristic traits easily. consequently, one should spend time with the "studied" person, in order to observe their behaviour. For instance, if the studied person is asked to go out to a ball game or a restaurant or a cinema, but the person always denies, he/she might be shy. If he/she is always in a tempered mood, for no explanatory reason, it can be inferred that there is something hidden disturbing him/her.
I assume you mean by valid psychology and psychiatry those schools of psychology that deny any and all subconscious processes. I find them not so much valid as incomplete and in denial of deeper psychological dimensions and structures. Behavioral Psychology denies the existence of a subconscious mind when it is clear that everyone has one. Everything about the mind is not rational but behavioral psychologists like to claim that it is either because the idea that they have a subconscious mind scares them so much that they are in denial or they are simply not intelligent enough to understand it. What makes you say that Carl Jung was mentally disturbed? I don't see that in his biography and I don't see it in his work or writings. The Only thing that I see is a tremendously intelligent mind, able to see and understand complicated mental processes that men of lessor intelligence can't even see are there. I've read about 10 or so of His books and I see nothing but brilliant intelligence and no hint of any mental disturbance. I used to work as a Registered Nurse on psychiatric units in hospitals for 20 years so if there was any mental disturbance there I should have seen it.
