%X Couple therapists can expect to work with couples who present with concomitant infidelity and depression in one or both partners. More than half of all couples in therapy have some form of infidelity in their past, and approximately 25% of all couples present in couple therapy with infidelity as a primary concern. With research showing clear connections between infidelity and depression, therapists must be aware of the complex interrelationship between infidelity treatment, depression treatment, and couple therapy. In this paper, we first review the research in the areas of depression and infidelity and show the connection between the two; we next provide an overview of effective treatment approaches to treating couples; and finally, we present current challenges for researchers and practitioners when infidelity and depression occur together.Keywords: Infidelity; depression; marital distress; couple therapy<p />
