About the Book

This book is a comprehensive guide designed to help mental health professionals understand and meet the unique needs of individuals in ethical non-monogamous relationships. Drawing on a wealth of research, case studies, and expert insights, Dr. Stephanie Sigler offers invaluable guidance on fostering healthy communication, managing jealousy and insecurities, and addressing the emotional dynamics that arise in non-monogamous relationships. With a compassionate and inclusive approach, this book helps mental health practitioners develop a deep understanding of diverse relationship structures. This book covers topics such as polyamory, open relationships, and swinging, addressing the specific needs and concerns of clients engaged in these relationships. It also encourages discussions of self-care for practitioners, ethical considerations, and addressing stigma within the therapeutic process. Sigler provides clinicians with step-by-step strategies and interventions mental health practitioners can implement in their sessions. An invaluable resource for practitioners new to ethical non-monogamy, this book is equally essential for therapists looking to expand their knowledge and skills and can help practitioners provide meaningful support to clients in this often misunderstood and underrepresented community.

Review :
“As someone who specializes in working with diverse relationships, I am always excited to learn more about my clients lives and lifestyles. Stephanie Sigler has written an incredibly useful book, rich with knowledge (both academic and lived) and full of resources that clinicians can immediately integrate into their practice. This belongs on the desk of everyone who works with gender, sexuality, or relationship minorities.” Stefani Goerlich, Author, Consultant & AASECT Certified Sex Therapist “This book is an up-to-date citing edge book on open relationships. There is so little literature that is accessible to the public regarding ethical non-monogamy (ENM) that takes a clinical approach. This comprehensive guide is necessary for the mental health field, in which ENM and related topics in psychotherapy have been historically misunderstood and under-taught to clinicians.” Joe Kort, PhD, LMSW, clinical director and founder of The Center for Relationships and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Michigan “As a therapist who works with couples either considering ENM relationships or are struggling with their existing ENM relationship, I found this manual to be a great help! It offers direction on the issues that need to be raised, and a clear plan for clients to take home and reflect on.” Laurie Betito, PhD, is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in Sex Therapy and has been a practicing Psychotherapist for over 30 years.
