In our culture, monogamous, dyadic partnerships are often depicted as the norm and ideal for relationship, but these types of partnerships have never been the only relational possibility. Polyamory and other forms of consensually non-monogamous relationships have always existed, offer much meaning and fulfillment to those who embrace them, and are increasingly showing up in both the media and in the therapy room. Whether a pair or group of polyamorous partners comes in to work on relational dynamics in their current structure, or a historically monogamous couples comes in desiring to open things up, it is crucial for therapists to have some basic skills for working successfully with these clients. In this course, students will explore such topics as differentiation, negotiation, agreements, boundaries, jealousy, and self of the therapist issues.
