Emotional processes following disclosure of an extramarital affair.

In-depth interviews with individuals who had experienced marital infidelity revealed a three-stage process following disclosure of an affair. The process starts with an "emotional roller coaster" and moves through a "moratorium" before efforts at trust building are recognized. Implications for the literature on forgiveness and the process of change in couples therapy are discussed as well as implications for future research and for practice.

Wives' reactions to learning that their husbands are bisexual.

Interviews with 33 women, plus data from 70 more, explored wives' reactions to being informed by their husbands that their husbands were bisexual, the consequences of disclosure, and the factors determining those reactions and consequences. Findings suggest that wives struggled less with the homosexuality itself than with problems of isolation, stigma, loss, cognitive confusion and dissonance, and lack of knowledgeable, empathic support or help in problem solving. Moreover, faulty assumptions about "disclosure" seem to have led to serious misconceptions about the wives, on the part of husbands, researchers, and therapists alike. These misconceptions and the "realities" are discussed.

Corroboration of drug abusers' self-reports through the use of multiple data sources.

Multiple data sources were used to evaluate the validity of 31 drug abusers' self-reports of recent drug use as well as related behaviors occurring 1 year before and 1 year immediately after admission to a drug-free therapeutic community. Interviews were conducted by individuals not associated with the program. At the initial interview subjects provided a breath test for alcohol and a urine sample to test for other recent drug use. Subjects also signed releases of information so that official records could be checked both before and after admission to treatment to document any hospitalizations, arrests, drug treatment facility stays, and driver's license suspensions or revocations. These multiple data checks showed that drug abusers' self-reports of recent alcohol and drug use and of arrests and hospitalizations over a 2-year period are sufficiently valid for use in treatment outcome research. When differences occurred, it was usually due to subjects reporting more events than appeared on the records.
