2 CE Hours
Presented by: Zhana Vrangalova, Ph.D.
Recorded workshop available via video on demand
Description:
We live in a world that glorifies monogamy and vilifies nonmonogamy. Yet many fail to remain completely sexually and emotionally monogamous with long-term partners, with increasing number of people exploring consensually nonmonogamous relationship structures. Using recent social science research, this class will examine how much truth lies behind the beliefs that humans are a monogamous species and that monogamy is better (and consensual nonmonogamy is worse) for couples’ relationship quality, sexual satisfaction, psychological well-being, sexual health, and child rearing.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe two nontraditional, yet relatively common, sexual and relationships/ lifestyles involving consensual nonmonogamy, and list the potential risks and benefits associated with them
- Discuss myths and stereotypes from the scientifically-backed facts regarding consensual non-monogamy
- Apply evidence-based knowledge regarding nontraditional relationship structures to improve client-centered care
