Despite expectations of accuracy and truthfulness, psychotherapy trainees may deliberately distort accounts of patient interactions presented in supervision. The author presents interviews with four psychiatry residents, detailing specific misrepresentations made to supervisors. Aspects of the literature on lying and on the supervisory setting are reviewed to help explain this phenomenon and suggest interventions to help prevent it.
