This handbook provides perspectives across mental health disciplines on clinical work with consensual non-monogamous (CNM) people/relationships from a lens of power, privilege, and oppression. The authors provide a broad-based resource for clinicians, trainees, educators and supervisors in CNM-affirming care, addressing societal and internalized mononormativity and intersections with other forms of oppression (including ableism, racism, cisnormativity, classism).

Educators using this volume will find foundational, current data on the experiences of CNM individuals and their relationships, as well as recent theory and empirical research relevant to CNM clients, including the importance of cultural humility within clinical practice. Key topics include developmental approaches to CNM, communities, families and relationships, queerness, emotional experiences, strengths/resilience, as well as ethical issues, training and organizational considerations in work with these clients, emphasizing practical recommendations, insights, and tools to promote CNM-affirming practice across settings.

Industry Reviews

This is a very useful if somewhat limited book. Written for clinicians whose practice involves anyone practicing consensual non-monogamy (CNM), this informative text covers a considerable amount of practical information. Vaughan and Burnes provide useful steps for this practice area and a solid summary of the relevant research and theoretical constructs underlying current clinical approaches. The book's strength is how practical a resource it is for any clinician whose practice involves individuals whose lives are experienced and structured in terms of CNM. The book effectively begins with a case study description of a clinician who agrees to work with a CNM couple despite having limited experience in this area, exactly the type of professional likely to find this book particularly useful. Recommended. Graduate students and professionals.
