Reviews

"Infidelity can have a devastating impact on relationships. And yet, as Angela Skurtu teaches us, couples can not only overcome infidelity, but their relationships can become more satisfying and fulfilling. Based on current research and her experience as a couples therapist, Angela offers stories, anecdotes, and evidence-based interventions for rebuilding relationships. Written in an engaging voice, Angela provides both new and seasoned therapists practical ideas and strategies that can be used right away. Helping Couples Overcome Infidelity is a terrific addition to any clinician’s library. I highly recommend it!"
Bob Bertolino, PhD, professor, Department of Rehabilitation Counseling at Maryville University, senior clinical advisor at Youth In Need, Inc., author of 14 books on psychotherapy"This book tackles a very difficult topic with compassion and insight. The interventions are clinically relevant and quite helpful in supporting couples who are struggling with betrayal. Unfortunately, infidelity is common and this book provides the tools that both the new and seasoned therapist can utilize to help couples survive and thrive."
