Introduction to Working with Multi-partnered Relationships

In this course, Anisa Varasteh, clinical sexologist and president of the Society of Australian Sexologists, introduces essential concepts for working with multi-partnered relationships in therapeutic practice. She explores how social constructionism shapes relationship norms, discusses ethical considerations in supporting clients practicing non-monogamy, and identifies common biases that may influence clinical work. Using real-world case studies, Anisa provides clinicians with strategies to foster communication, set boundaries, and navigate challenges like jealousy, trust, and agreement violations. This course is designed to enhance clinical competency and equip professionals with an inclusive and affirming approach to diverse relationship structures.
