Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
How many of the 75 million people engaging in sexual activity online are going to stroll into their local libraries looking for advice on cyber-infidelity? (Surfers whose "activity" consists of looking at dirty pictures probably won't.) On the other hand, cyber-trysts have destroyed enough marriages and other relationships to suggest that a self-help book on the perils of virtual romance will find readers. Maheu is a licensed psychologist and founding editor in chief of SelfhelpMagazine.com, the first mental health site established on the Web; Subotnik is a licensed marriage and family counselor and author of Surviving Infidelity (1994). Their approach is similar to that of other self-help books, full of anecdotes and typologies, checklists and self-quizzes. The authors define cyber-infidelity and analyze the elements that make cyberspace an appealing arena for romance. They describe "cyber-sexual compulsivity" and then concentrate on how virtual infidelity impairs relationships in the real world. The book's final section spells out the steps to recovery from an Internet affair. A cyber-glossary and references are appended. Mary Carroll

From Library Journal
Psychologist Maheu (editor in chief, SelfhelpMagazine.com) and marriage counselor Subotnik (coauthor, Surviving Infidelity) contend that couples may experience serious emotional harm when they turn to computers to vent stress. By chatting, e-mailing, and viewing pornography, people become at-risk for infidelity and sexual compulsion. Offering revealing vignettes and a sometimes clinical narrative, the text makes valuable points about the importance of communication, the pain caused by any form of cheating, the attraction of cybersex, and the path toward healing. While the book effectively addresses the feelings of the spouse and shows that a cyberaffair constitutes a real betrayal, it neglects to treat the "other man/woman" as a real person, thereby downplaying the transgression. Also, several times in the text, the cyberaffair/sexual encounter is referred to as "fantasy," and the individuals in the case studies often compare the "fake Internet world" with the "real world," further distorting the concept of unfaithfulness. Readers thus come away with a conflicting message. Online infidelity and addiction is better covered in Patrick Carnes's In the Shadows of the Net (LJ 5/15/01) and in a section of Emily Brown's Affairs (LJ 9/15/99). Only those libraries that don't own such titles or need a one-stop source should purchase. Jeanne Larkins, New York

A good reality check
28. April 2002
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book defines and tries to explain internet infidelity. It shows the hurtful and destructive effects of internet infidelity on all parties concerned, often using case histories to illustrate types of behavior and the potential effects.
This book became a "reality checkpoint" for me when I needed it most. My husband kept telling me that there's nothing wrong with chat room encounters because they "aren't real" (whatever that means), that chat room encounters are no worse than looking at a pornographic magazine, and that, in any event, it's all my fault. For a while, I was plagued with grief, guilt and self-doubt. This book helped me see the excuses, denials and finger-pointing for what they really were. If you are having self-doubts and are beating yourself up emotionally, take a look at this book.

A Helpful and Clarifying Book
2. November 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
When I caught my husband on the Internet I wasn't sure what to make of it. I felt hurt, confused, and betrayed. I wasn't sure if I could trust him again, and was skeptical about our relationship. I read this book and things became much clearer to me. It helped me figure out what was going on, what my own feelings were, and how to talk with my husband. I'm happy to report we are working things out. The book got to the core of our problems and gave me stories along the way to let me know I was not alone. I highly recommend this book to anyone in my situation.

WOW!!!
4. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This book helped my husband realize and acknowledge his addiction, and helped me, his wife, to understand what exactly he was dealing with. It also helped us both begin his recovery by suggesting ways to overcome and deal with this kind of addiction. I DEFINITELY give this book a 5* rating, simply because it saved my marriage.
