Why? Because when couples come in after an infidelity has occurred-or while one is going on-the stakes are high and the traditional therapeutic stance of neutrality may not be an option. This Reading Course, comprised of 4 articles, examines some of the myths about extramarital affairs, looks at some of the classic patterns of infidelity, and, most importantly, shows how to help couples turn infidelity into an opportunity for greater intimacy. Including the work of well-known figures like Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, and Emily Brown, this course will offer you a framework for recognizing your own value position and highlight the fundamental issues couples must face if they are to use the crisis of infidelity to develop a richer, fuller relationship.
