Title: Simplistic
Review: Pittman, like some other psychiatrists, likes to be able to put people and their actions into easy categories. Yes, people who have affairs, like people who fall in love, fall out of love, etc., behave in remarkably similar ways. That doesn't mean that those behaviors are necessarily wrong. I had an affair with a man who was/is verbally and emotionally abused by his wife. Her abuse was "infidelity" and a "betrayal of trust" long before he "betrayed" her by seeking love, acceptance and intimacy with me. And does Pittman think that the "betrayer," my lover, wasn't agonizing over his own failures and responsibilities? Pittman's advice reiterates to me that there are psychiatrists out there who like to simplify all relationships so they don't have to do the hard work of helping their clients through serious emotional work and complicated psychological motivations.
