More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory by Eve Rickert, Franklin Veaux
4.0
I felt that this was definitely a great practical guide that felt very compassionate in the approach.
I did not have any times where I strongly disagreed with the authors on their perspective or approach - although in general the authors left a lot of room for different expressions.
As with many resources on polyamory I did feel that the part that addressed mental health issues was very limited and seemed to address this from the view that people should disclose these issues to future partners without recognising that mental health issues come in so many forms, can happen at any time to individuals and the issues that exist with mis/under/over- diagnosis. Also it failed to even discuss issues of trauma. I also had been hoping for a bit more of a discussion about anti-opression and issues of race and class as they play out in our poly relationships. Of course the overall themes and premis can be applied to these issues but I would love to see more disscussions about these issues in specific.
