About the Collection

Esther Perel draws on decades of clinical experience working with couples to explore some of the tensions at the heart of modern relationships.

Mating in Captivity examines the tension between love and desire in long-term relationships, asking how couples can maintain erotic connection while also creating intimacy, security and emotional closeness.

The State of Affairs explores why infidelity happens, why affairs can be so emotionally devastating, and what betrayal can reveal about desire, commitment, relationships and modern expectations of love.

Together, the books provide complementary perspectives on intimacy and desire, followed by a deeper exploration of infidelity, betrayal and the complexities of long-term relationships.
