      A therapist and expert on trust, intimacy, and forgiveness reads a smooth abridgment of her 1996 guide on how to survive an affair. With a scientist's logic she covers an impressive amount of ground and ties everything together with sensitivity. Her compassionate insights about the ways men and women react to betrayal are practical and flow well into recommendations that speak to people where they are emotionally. Author Spring's narration is very comprehensible. It provides an audible link to her intellectual soundness and empathy for couples in pain. Insights about how to deal with loss, how to vent anger, and how to restore trust and recommit (in life and in bed) give this important lesson enormous healing energy. T.W.

      For married or cohabiting couples who want to rebuild their relationship after one partner had had an affair, this tough-minded, insightful manual will be eminently practical. Clinical psychologist Spring, writing with her husband, draws on 20 years of experience treating distressed couples as she explains how both the unfaithful partner and the betrayed one can confront their doubts and fears about recommitting, constructively communicate pain and anger, restore trust, renew sexual intimacy and forgive. In jargon-free prose, she urges both partners to probe the deeper meaning of the affair, to explore why it happened and to accept responsibility for it. Recognizing unstated assumptions held by oneself or one's mate is an integral part of this process, and the authors include exercises, concise case studies and checklists of suggestions to guide readers through the difficult task of healing. This wise book fills a gap on the self-help shelf. First serial to Cosmopolitan; available on audiocassette.
