Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Infidelity is the most common major crisis of marriage. In this wise book, a psychiatrist and family therapist discusses four kinds of infidelity, why they happen, and what they mean.

This book is one of only 2 books on infidelity that I can wholeheartly recommend and I've read several (the other was by the late Dr. Shirley Glass).
What sets this book apart from most others on infidelity is that I found it to be the missing link between popular non-sense on infidelity (including how to define it) from therapists and my own observations and findings. Dr. Pittman doesn'y play the "share blame" theory of infidelity which differs greatly from popular thinking even ... Read More

I have not finished it yet but so far I found it insightful since it is written by a male and it gives you a glimpse into the the way men think so differently about things including Unfaithfullness. My husbands affair was an accidental one with a co-worker who was needy since she was going through a tough divorce and he as a nice guy that he has always been tried to help her sort things out and listened to her woes. That was the first big mistake. That is how it all started his feeling sorry for ... Read More

This author is rather biased and seems to think that infidelity is never the cause of a divorce and that divorce is to be avoided at almost all costs barring physical abuse! His references are also rather dated, is very gender biased and he meanderes way too much.
A much more useful reference on Infidelity is "Sexual Detours" by Dr. Hooly Hien

Pittman, like some other psychiatrists, likes to be able to put people and their actions into easy categories. Yes, people who have affairs, like people who fall in love, fall out of love, etc., behave in remarkably similar ways. That doesn't mean that those behaviors are necessarily wrong. I had an affair with a man who was/is verbally and emotionally abused by his wife. Her abuse was "infidelity" and a "betrayal of trust" long before he "betrayed" her by seeking love, acceptance and intimacy with ... Read More

I love this guy. Dr. Frank Pittman is a psychiatrist with a sense of humor, and brilliant insight into the Passion, Drama, Lust and Love of affairs.
If I had a dollar for every client who explained their involvement in an extramarital affair as being swept up into Passion, I'd be a very wealthy woman. But affairs are rarely about Passion. They're about Lust, or about Drama. They don't often start out as Love. And very few of them end up there, either. It's estimated that fifty percent of marriages ... Read More
