[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference between the types of liars: pathological, compulsive, or just out of convenience? I don't think my husband lies on a daily basis like some compulsive liars. But he lied when he thinks it is just easier than having to deal with or explain the truth. I feel like it stems from some deep conflict avoidance, bad communication skills, and who knows what else. But over time he has become so comfortable lying.

What is the difference between a clinical psychologist and a clinical social worker? I am seeing a lot of therapist who are the latter, and it seems they deal with very similar issues as the former. [/quote]

A clinical psychologist has a doctoral level degree, a clinical social worker usually has a master’s degree.  The training is somewhat different.  If the therapists that you’re considering are all experienced, I’d say that the critical factor would be the amount of experience and expertise the particular therapist has had with the types of concerns they’re being asked to address in treatment.
