We have collected some insightful writings on polyamory here for your elucidation. All are reprinted with permission from the authors.

Kathy Labriola is a Bay Area Counselor and Nurse. Her articles have long been among my favorites. I used them when I was a counselor and issues related to open relationships and jealousy arose. Her writings are an inspiration to me. My goal is to eventually write my essays as well as she does. Her articles included here are Have You Considered Non-Monogamy, Unmasking the Green-eyed Monster: Managing Jealousy In Open Relationships, Models of Open Relationships, and Sex Addiction and Polyamory and How to Tell the Difference.

What Every Psychology Professional Should Know About Polyamory is a very well written and useful paper by Geri Weitzman, PhD, a San Francisco psychologist. If you are unable to get a recommendation to a therapist in your area who is already knowledgeable about open relationshisp, I recommend you print this article out and take it to your first appointment with them. If they read it, and don't agree that they can work with you on your issues, try a different one.
