Bio:Back when I began this blog, I was a grad student and an activist for sexual minorities trying to write a comprehensive study on relationship counseling with polyamorous folk. Polyfidelity/polyamory is an area often overlooked and misunderstood by many people who claim to be advocates of sexual minorities. It has been fascinating to explore this type of relationship in a context of advocacy and social marginalization. I graduated without finishing my thesis and study, because I instead concentrated my interests on my psychotherapy skills within the LGBTQ community. However, polyamory is still a prime interest of mine and I plan on continuing my education and perhaps writing a guide to relationship counseling with polyamorous folks -- as a professional rather than as a student.

Survey: Consensual, ethical, non-monogamy & relationship counseling.
Are you or have you been in a polyamorous relationship? Please consider participating in a brief survey. [Survey not yet active.]

Would you like to help?
If you have or have had polyamorous relationships, have been involved with the poly community, or are interested in assisting with this study, please leave a message. You can also contact me at polypath AT yahoo DOT com. (If you do contact me via email, please post a quick comment on my journal to let me know, or I might not catch it right away!)

Some resources on polyamory:
.Books.
The Ethical Slut
