Using case histories that provide illustrations, this book describes conflicted marriages and the expectations, disappointments, and frustrations of those who use affairs as a means of escape. It discusses issues such as mate choice, types of marriages, spouses' reactions, and unconscious compliance.

Trade Review
Dr. Strean explains—eloquently, clearly, and with validity—why an affair rarely brings lasting fulfillment and why a mature, intimate marriage is the only realistic solution to the quest for an enduring and gratifying relationship. -- Lucy Freeman
This is the first serious full-length study of the extramarital affair, one of the most common problems encountered in our therapeutic practice. It is a carefully researched and well-documented book that I strongly recommend as an authoritative and illuminating contribution. It should be read by every psychotherapist and should be on the shelf of every library. -- Reuben Fine, Ph.D.
