An extramarital affair is, according to Dr. Herbert Strean, a form of neurotic behavior that reflects the person's unresolved chlidhood conflicts and present level of maturity. Using numerous case histories that provide excellent illustrations, he describes conflicted marriages and the expectations, dissapointments, and frustrations of those who use affairs as a means of escape. Issues such as mate choice, types of marriages, spouses' reactions, and unconsious compliance add depth and complexity to this important and often provocative subject.

Resolving Resistances in Psychotherapy by Herbert S. Strean

Resolving Resistances in Psychotherapy (Wiley Series on Personality Processes)

Wiley-Interscience

Presents a psychodynamic view of marital therapy, covering the dynamics of marital conflict, the therapeutic principles applied in treating that conflict, and the various kinds of neurotic adjustments seen in marital relationships, as well as a brief survey of the history of marriage. Based on the premise that marriage doesn't cause conflicts but only reflects the conflicts characteristic of the individual regardless of marital status, it clarifies the neurotic choices made by a partner exposing more basic psychological problems. Also portrays the process of mate selection as a highly subjective, often irrational process that reflects childhood needs and conflicts. Concludes with a chapter describing the mature spouse.
