By Claudia Black, Ph.D.

Pornography, cybersex, prostitutes, voyeurism, multiple affairs. No matter the "drug" of choice, men who act out sexually leave their partners reeling in fear, rage, incredible shame, and isolation.

Deceived was written expressly to help these women better understand what is happening in their lives, garner validation for their experiences, and find a path that offers clarity, direction, and voice.

Bestselling author Claudia Black guides readers to understand aspects of their personal histories that have led them to be in relationships plagued by sexual betrayal, and reveals how their partner's behavior can be as addictive as a drug. She then outlines proactive steps that readers can take to build healthier relationships and take care of themselves, illustrated by accounts of real women who have done so successfully.

Women learn how to:

• Set nonnegotiable boundaries in order to heighten their security during this vulnerable period.
  
• Avoid preoccupation with their problems.
  
• Make positive changes for themselves and their partners.

With this book, women will learn to honor themselves by making choices derived from esteem and integrity. In the end, they will be able to emerge from emotional isolation, shed secrets and shame, and discover their power.
