Product Description

For the 70 per cent of couples who have been affected by extramarital affairs, this is the only book to offer proven strategies for surviving the crisis and rebuilding the relationship - written by a respected therapist considered an expert on infidelity. 'When I was 15, I was raped. That was nothing compared to your affair. The rapist was a stranger; you, I thought, were my best friend'. There is nothing quite like the pain and shock caused when a partner has been unfaithful. The hurt partner often experiences a profound loss of self-respect and falls into a depression that can last for years. For the relationship, infidelity is often a death blow. "After the Affair" is the first book to help readers survive this crisis. Written by a clinical psychologist who has been treating distressed couples for 22 years, it guides both hurt and unfaithful partners through the three stages of healing: Normalising feelings, deciding whether to recommit and revitalizing the relationship. It provides proven, practical advice to help the couple change their behavior toward each other, cultivate trust and forgiveness and build a healthier, more conscious intimate partnership.

A must buy if one of you has had an affair
This book was almost written for my wife and I. She has been having an affair for a year and seems unable to stop. I felt so out of control until I read this book. It truly reflected everything that has been happening in our lives and even explained how and why the affair started. It made me feel valued again. I read some portions of the book over the phone to my wife and then sent her a copy. She has now returned to me.
