This presentation is based on a compilation of many previous published volumes. This workshop draws from many theoretical perspectives including classical psychoanalysis, self-psychology, ego psychology, object relations, attachment theory, contemporary theorists and others. It describes various aspects of infidelity as it links to various personality disorders. The very nature of the affair offers many therapeutic challenges not only to the therapist, but to the couple as well. It also includes many treatment points and procedures and many cases examples, including how each specific personality type is psychodynamically driven. Aside from this work, it has applicability to all kinds of couples, including many of the ones described in my previous publication. There is also plenty of opportunity for role play and discussion.
