Abstract
At some point in their practice, all marital therapists encounter a couple who have been orare being affected by infidelity. The literature on infidelity lacks an understanding of its impact from a cultural perspective. This article discusses the ways in which infidelity is viewed within the context of three ethnic minorities in the United States: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. The authors will provide an overview of infidelity according to religious traditions. Case studies for each ethnic group will be presented to explore clinical treatment of infidelityfrom an ethnically sensitive perspective.
