In her latest book, Parents Who Cheat, How Children and Adults are Affected When Their Parents are Unfaithful, Dr. Nogales combines the expertise derived from her thirty-five years of clinical practice with her current research, including the unprecedented "Parents Who Cheat Survey", to reveal the profound effects on children and adult children when one parent betrays the other. Parents Who Cheat explains how a child’s perception of love and marriage can be forever altered, how self-esteem and trust are often severely damaged, and why adult children whose parents were unfaithful often choose unfaithful partners or become unfaithful themselves. Throughout the book, Dr. Nogales offers advice and practical solutions and points the way toward healing, forgiveness, and healthier, more trusting relationships with parents and partners. Dr. Nogales also hosts the "Family Secrets" blog on Psychology Today Online.
