Deceived: Facing the Trauma of Sexual Betrayal

Compulsive pornography use, prostitutes, voyeurism and multiple affairs - no matter their drug of choice, men who misbehave sexually leave their partners reeling in fear, rage, incredible shame and isolation. But there is hope. Bestselling author, Claudia Black’s revised and updated edition of her classic work DECEIVED offers women in relationships plagued by sexual betrayal the care and guidance to create a new path of clarity, direction and confidence. Black uses stories of real women who have been through a wide variety of experiences to help readers develop the understanding and skills to:

* confront their partners * heighten their personal security by setting non-negotiable boundaries * avoid preoccupation with their partners’ problems * practise forgiveness * let go of the uncontrollable * talk to their children * make positive changes derived from esteem and integrity

DECEIVED empowers women to proactively emerge from emotional isolation, shed secrets and discover their power to incite positive change in their relationships.
