Description

The behaviours, feelings, attitudes, and thoughts exhibited by certain types of married men involved in romantic relationships with certain types of single women are so recognizable and predictable as to constitute a genuine syndrome. A relationship develops based on an unconscious agreement to gratify each other's internal longings, and the intrapsychic dynamics of one partner elicits complementary dynamics in the other. Interactional patterns that are co-determined by each of the participants are defined as much by the dyad as by individual psychology. This extreme form of intersubjectivity results in feelings of powerlessness, regression, and loss of the autonomous self, making it exceedingly hard for either one to extricate him- or herself from the relationship. The author of this book explores extramarital affairs in clinical work, the causes of this syndrome, and the capacity for mature love.
