Abstract
- A Chinese patient with pathological lying (pseudologia fantastica) and gender identity disturbance is described. The stories "save face" and lack a truly self-aggrandising quality. The importance of keeping "face" and maintaining modest behaviour in the Chinese culture is central to the psychopathology.
