consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, behavior analysis, affirmative psychotherapy, mononormativityAbstract
This study aimed to identify clinical guidelines for therapists working with clients in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships from the perspective of Behavior Analysis. A systematic review was conducted in the Web of Science, Medline, SciELO, LILACS, and CAPES Portal databases, resulting in the selection of sixteen studies with recommendations relevant to clinical practice. The findings indicate the persistence of mononormative biases in therapeutic practice and highlight the importance of therapist self-awareness, continuing education, and the adoption of affirmative stances. The most effective interventions involve differentiating between infidelity and CNM, adapting traditional clinical models, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, and using strategies of communication, emotional regulation, and relational validation. It is concluded that clinical practice should be established as an ethical, inclusive space of cultural countercontrol, committed to the depathologization of affective and relational diversity.
