Monogamies and non-monogamies: a response to “The challenge of monogamy: bringing it out of the closet and into the treatment room” by Marianne Brandon

摘要

This brief article responds to Marianne Brandon's piece on bringing monogamy into the treatment room. First I reflect on the ways in which monogamy might be involved in the issues that bring people to sexual and relationship therapy. Then I consider various forms of open non-monogamy that would be useful for us to be aware of. Finally I give some additional reflections on how we might work with monogamy with our clients.
