Affairs

‘A hugely thoughtful and stimulating book about love that can’t fail to leave us with new insights on our lives. If only all psychotherapists could write as well as Juliet Rosenfeld.’ – Alain de Botton‘Riveting’ – New Statesman ‘I found it brutal, heartbreaking and, in a strange way (after its tales had settled in me) inspiring’ – You Magazine‘If you read this insightful and challenging book, you may just feel differently about infidelity.’ * The Oldie *

Juliet Rosenfeld is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and author, living and working in London. In both her clinical work and writing, she has a special interest in couples, and the difficulties they encounter in long term relationships.

She has written widely on mental health, and her research work at UCL is focused on the impact of relationship breakdown on society and how we might understand it better from a therapeutic, rather than an economic or cultural perspective. Juliet studied at Oxford, then worked in advertising, and briefly the civil service, before retraining as a psychotherapist twenty years ago. She is Clinical Trustee of the Freud Museum and the author of Affairs: True Stories of Love, Lies, Hope and Desire.
