Why is it important?

It's the largest study addressing therapy practices with the CNM community.

Perspectives

The results identify practices that are perceived as generally helpful or unhelpful and point to the need for additional research, training, and guidelines to bridge therapists’ knowledge gap regarding CNM. I provide more information about the significance of the study in the resources section. See "What Therapists Need to Know About Consensual Non-monogamy."
