Intimate emotional and sexual relationships outside of marriage or a committed relationship occur with high frequency in both community and, particularly, clinical populations. Clinicians are likely to confront infidelity not only among couples they treat, but also among individuals struggling with their own or their partner's affair and among children contending with consequences of a parent's infidelity. This introduction highlights special concerns related to treating individuals, couples, or families dealing with infidelity addressed in this issue of Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session . The articles comprising this issue advance explicit guidelines and practice recommendations for assessment, intervention, and ethical conduct. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
