There is an interesting chapter on denial in  UK text (The child protection handbook). It is interersting to consider the
difference between lying and denial. Let me know if you want more details.

Subject: lying


Is there any data or interesting writing on lying in the course of child maltreatment interviews or psychotherapy? I am not
talking about lying about the occurrence of child sexual abuse-I'm familiar with that literature. Rather, I'm wondering if we know
anything about lying about other kinds of abuse, about who lives in the home, etc. It seems to me that some lying is irrelevant to
child maltreatment (e.g. lying about immigration status) whereas other kinds of lying are quite relevant. I'm eager to hear from
others who may have given this some thought, or who may have addressed this in their writing.
