Working late? Midnight calls? Over half of us have affairs - curious to know why?

Psychotherapist Juliet Rosenfeld shares the secrets, lies and real motivations behind affairs. Based around the hundreds of responses she received after placing an advertisement in the London Review of Books, this frequently exposed but deeply concealed aspect of human behaviour is brought out into the light and explored without judgement or shame.

True personal stories and groundbreaking research come together to change everything you have ever thought about infidelity.

Juliet Rosenfeld is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and author, living and working in London. In both her clinical work and writing, she has a special interest in grief and love (as the two are often so profoundly entwined). Juliet's writing has been published in The Times, The Guardian and The Observer, amongst others, and she has appeared on podcasts, panels and at events, speaking about topics of love, loss and grief within a psychoanalytical framework. Her first book, The State of Disbelief: A Story of Death, Love and Forgetting, was published in 2020. In it, Juliet tells the story of the diagnosis, illness and death of her husband from lung cancer and how the experience turned everything she had learnt about death as a psychotherapist on its head.

Reviews for Affairs: True Stories of Love, Lies, Hope and Desire

'Riveting' -- New Statesman 'I found it brutal, heartbreaking and, in a strange way (after its tales had settled in me) inspiring' -- You Magazine ‘A hugely thoughtful and stimulating book about love that can’t fail to leave us with new insights on our lives. If only all psychotherapists could write as well as Juliet Rosenfeld.’ -- Alain de Botton
