Infidelity is a key social issue of the 21st century, no longer confined to “cheaters” bars or secret rendezvous during business trips. The Internet is a technological playground for philanderers, turning previously out-of-reach fantasies into instant opportunities. And in both genders, infidelity—emotional, virtual, and sexual—is on the rise. In his new book, INFIDELITY: Why Men and Women Cheat, renowned sex and addiction specialist Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, M.D. draws from the latest research in neuroscience and his own clinical practice to reveal the mechanics of the sexual brain. And through concrete rules, Dr. Rosenberg guides couples on how to prevent cheating, stop it from progressing, and repair the damage caused by an affair.

Dr. Kenneth Rosenberg is the co-editor of BEHAVIORAL ADDICTIONS (Elsevier Academic Press, 2014), which is considered to be a landmark text in the field, and he is a consulting editor of one of the leading sex journals, the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. A board-certified addiction psychiatrist, Dr. Rosenberg is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a certified sex addiction therapist. For over a decade, he has been listed in US News and World Report and New York Magazine as a top psychiatrist. As a sex researcher, he has published scholarly articles on sexuality and contributed to clinical studies of the effectiveness and safety of Viagra. He has appeared on HBO, CNN, Fox, ABC World News Tonight, and CNBC and has been cited in The New York Times, People, Newsweek and the Huffington Post among other publications. He is also a Peabody Award winning filmmaker for HBO and PBS. Dr. Rosenberg maintains a private practice in Manhattan.

INFIDELITY is poised to become a classic guide for men and women to help them understand and overcome their own self-inflicted barriers to love and commitment and discover their true sexual and romantic potential.
