The present study investigated the effectiveness of Rollo's Existential-Humanistic Approach to the willingness to infidelity in disloyal men. The present study was a single case study (A-B phase design). The research population included men involved in marital infidelity in Shahindaj in 2021. The participants were three people who were selected using purposive sampling to participate in treatment. The data were collected using the Whitley Attitudes toward Infidelity Scale (ATIS). The intervention was performed individually, two sessions per week for 120 to 160 minutes on the participants. The collected data were analyzed using visual analysis, the change stability index, and the recovery rate formula. The visual analysis of the curves for the tendency to marital infidelity in the intervention stage showed that the two variables underwent a downward trend and the change stability index of both variables was greater than 1.96. Furthermore, the tendency to marital infidelity and existential crises were improved by 41.66% and 31%, respectively, indicating that the intervention implemented following Rollo's approach had a significant impact on these two variables. Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that therapists can use the Rollo's existential-humanistic approach as an efficient model to reduce existential crises in clients and also reduce the tendency to infidelity in the individuals or couples engaged in marital infidelity.

Explaining the cause of tendency to marital infidelity, especially among people with religious backgrounds, merely focusing on elements such as emotional-sexual dissatisfaction or marital conflict, is a sort of superficial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomena in men's marital infidelity. The method of the current study is based on the interpretive phenomenological method. The researcher selected and interviewed 18 married men who had committed infidelity in Shahindaj city, West-Azerbaijan, Iran to participate in the study using purposive sampling. Interviews were analyzed using the interpretive- phenomenological analysis method of Dickelman & et al. The analysis of these people led to the identification of six sub-themes (escape from contemplation &pause, escape from destiny, struggle with existential loneliness, hollow and desireoriented love, value transformation and escape from existential emptiness) and a major theme (of existential alienation). Revealing these factors not only increases information and awareness about the how cues of marital infidelity is formed and intensified from an existential point of view, but also showed that increasing one's awareness toward one's nature and leads to reducing alienation from its dimensions; these issues are things that can reduce a one's desire to the experience of marital infidelity.
