A very thorough treatise on the subject of sex addiction - By: , 15 Apr 1999
The title of this book, "Back From Betrayal: A Ground Breaking Guide to Recovery For Women Involved With Sex-Addicted Men", may fool you into believing this book is focused solely on recovery for the co-sex addict.

It's not.

I waded through a lot of explanations about what sex addiction is & isn't, & what sex addicted men (or women, although the majority of sex addicts are men) think & feel, as well as what leads them to addiction. While this information IS helpful to the co-addict, it was given almost equal time as was the topic of the co-addict & her recovery process.

I think this book would have been MORE helpful if it had given more time to the issue of codependency, & women involved in relationships with sex addicts.

With that aside, the book is well-written & thorough. You might want to skim the chapters about sex addicts & society & get to the real meat of the issue: co-sex addiction and, especiallly, recovery.

subtle yet relentless condemnation of the victim - By: , 26 Feb 1999
While I never have met the author, I had the impression that she didn't seem to like anyone who was a victim in union with an unfaithful mate. Victims have enough unfair self-blame to deal with, without more unfair damaging blame administered under the disguise of "help."
