An Imago Therapist Recommended Reading List
with
Annotated Comments
by Barbara Reichlin
In the spring of 2009, a group of Imago therapists participated in an informal online discussion regarding the books they use and recommend for clients dealing with the aftermath of an affair. Below is a list of those books accompanied by comments from Ms Reichlin.
Comment: Received the most votes from all therapists. A favorite of many because it speaks to the experience of both the affair partner and the betrayed partner. Author has been called the Adultery Buster. She has written many books on affairs.
(Comments: Said to be “one of the best” by an Imago therapist who specializes in this area. Became a Lifetime movie. Bonnie is herself an Imago therapist.)
Highly recommended. One of the few authors who has conducted actual research on the subject in addition to having a great deal of clinical expertise. Comments from other Imago therapists: “A classic.” “My clients have found it very helpful.” “Especially good with emotional affairs; gives steps for rebuilding trust.” “Shirley Glass's work is of course some of the best.“)
