Deconstructing Infidelity

Causes & Myths

Narrado por: Sam Rosenthal

The causes of affairs illuminate the path of recovery and prevention.

Affairs don’t happen in a vacuum. The decision to cheat is not a simple impulse. Most of the time, the decision represents the cumulative effects of many factors that have been either hidden or ignored. Our lack of knowledge about the causes of affairs is the leading cause of our failure to recover from them. This book offers the listener an in-depth understating of the individual, relationship, and environmental causes of infidelity.

The information you will learn in this book is the synthesis of my extensive clinical and research efforts in the field of affair recovery. The autopsies of the hundreds of infidelity cases I have worked with allow me to provide the listener with a practical and concrete understanding of why people cheat. This knowledge will help couples and their counselors be more successful in choosing the appropriate path of recovery and the steps needed to achieve the desired outcome.
