REVIEW: Not "Just Friends"

NOT "Just Friends": Rebuilding Trust and Recovering Your Sanity After Infidelity
Protect Your Relationship from Infidelity and Heal the Trauma of Betrayal
By Shirley P. Glass, Ph. D.


I am a clinical psychologist, a wife and mother. I have read many, many books on affairs and treated literally hundreds of couples recovering from the marital carnage of affairs. This book is the best. My clients involved in affairs find it the most helpful and so do other therapists. Nothing else even comes close. Her examples ring true. There are no false notes.

I suspected that since she hadn't experienced an affair, she would be judgmental. Not so. She has great empathy for each person in the triangle. She understands that some marriages won't make it, yet is clear that her values are pro-marriage.

She recognizes that many marriages emerge from affairs stronger than ever. This is the good stuff! Enjoy.
