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!
