Handbook of the Clinical Treatment of Infidelity
Help your clients' relationships survive infidelity!
In the Handbook of the Clinical Treatment of Infidelity, a panel of seasoned experts reflects on issues central to affairs, and on how to help couples heal and learn from them. First, editors Fred P. Piercy, Katherine M. Hertlein, and Joseph L. Wetchler provide an essential overview of infidelity theory, research, and treatment. They discuss the effect of infidelity on couples and delineate three types of infidelity-emotional, physical, and infidelity including aspects of both. They review the relatively new role of the Internet in infidelity and explore infidelity within the context of comarital relationships. Finally, they discuss the overarching theories and common models used in infidelity treatment.
Also in the Handbook of the Clinical Treatment of Infidelity:
Susan M. Johnson, the co-developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), discusses affairs through the lens of attachment theory, and shows how EFT provides a way to acknowledge and express pain, remorse, and regret, and to repair this attachment bond.
David Moultrup takes a Bowenian approach to infidelity, focusing attention on the underlying dynamics of the emotional system
Frank Pittman and Tina Pittman Wagers outline cultural myths about affairs and do their share of debunking
Adrian Blow discusses how to help couples directly address their pain-and the challenges of the healing process
Brian Case highlights the role of apology and forgiveness in the healing process
Frank Stalfa and Catherine Hastings focus on the treatment of \"accusatory suffering\"-a spouse's obsessive holding onto and retaliating for an affair long after it has ended, and despite the offending partner's repeated apologies and attempts at restitution

Perceptions of Program Enhancers and Stressors by Marriage and Family Therapy Students and Faculty
This study investigated the stressors and enhancers for students reported by students and faculty who are enrolled or teach in accredited marriage and family therapy programs. Results indicated that students (n = 112) and faculty members (n = 43) differ in their perceptions of six out of thirteen different program characteristics: information to prospective students, professional development, career guidance and placement services, mentoring, program climate, and feedback provided to students. Faculty perceived these program characteristics more enhancing than students. However, students’ and faculty means were ranked similarly in prioritization.

The Social Construction of Love Through Intergenerational Processes
Love became an integral part of marriage in Western culture in the mid-1900s. Marriage began to change along with the inclusion of love, which is evidenced by changes in divorce rates. While marriages themselves change, love too may be influenced in a reciprocal process. This study was interested in identifying the association between parental relationship factors, including marital status and interparental conflict, and both the experience of and expectations for love. The sample was collected using online convenience sampling, and included (N = 207) heterosexually married participants. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted to determine the unique contribution of the parent marital factors on love. Higher levels of interparental conflict were associated with lower levels of love and expectations for love, while having parents who were separated was associated with higher relationship expectations. These findings can support case conceptualizations for clinical work with couples and the use of Narrative and Transgenerational therapies.

The Relationship of Differentiation, Family Coping Skills, and Family Functioning with Optimism in College-Age Students
The marriage and family therapy (MFT) field would benefit from new research about positive subjective experiences, such as optimism, in order to construct and nurture strengths for developing more positive emotions. Through a better understanding of optimism, marriage and family therapists (MFTs) can explore which strategies might help families and individuals better cope with distressing emotions by building buffering strengths. In this study we address the relationship of differentiation, family coping, and family functioning to optimism. We found that differentiation, family coping, and family functioning each have a significant effect on attributional style. The results of this study also indicated that encouraging clients to take an I-position and to reframe problems, in particular, may lead to greater optimism. This study contributes to the lack of research regarding strength-based theories in the MFT field.

The Role of Primary Emotion in Family Therapy Supervision
This paper presents a model of family therapy supervision based on the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy. It is designed to deal with interface issues between therapist and client that hinder a case's progress. The supervisor assesses the interactional sequence between the therapist and client, and then accesses the therapist's primary emotions toward the client, to alter the stuck sequence. This model is recommended as an alternative to traditional family of origin approaches for dealing with therapist interface issues.
