Choices
This is a compendium of two studies and a follow-up article. The most recent study, Choices, (2016) focuses on younger gay men's perspectives on monogamy, non-monogamy and marriage. It is both a quantitative (576 respondents) and qualitative (222 respondents) study. It describes trends toward greater monogamy, the emergence of 'monogamish' relationships, and provides insights, profiles, and descriptions of both monogamous, as well as non-monogamous couples. Beyond Monogamy, (2010) is a study based on in-depth interviews with 86 long-term non-monogamous couples - when and how they opened up their relationships, how they handle jealousy and emotional involvement, what information they disclose...

Beyond Monogamy
Although non-monogamy is prevalent in the gay community, information about how couples navigate this terrain is surprisingly lacking. As a long-term couple (36 years) we had experienced ups and downs and an on-going evolution in our approach to living in a non-monogamous relationship. We were curious about the experience of others and assumed many long-term couples might offer valuable perspectives and hard-earned lessons. The study summarizes data from the 86 couples we interviewed and provides many verbatim quotes illustrating themes, issues and things to consider. The information is most helpful for couples considering opening their relationship or couples struggling with issues related to non-monogamy.

Polyamorous Elders
This book explores the unique group of elders, ages fifty-five and older, who practice some form of consensual nonmonogamy. It covers both the joys and challenges of multiple relationships for elders and explores how their relationships develop and evolve. Polyamorous elders have the complexities of juggling multiple relationships, as well as navigating all the issues of aging: managing medical conditions and disabilities (their own and/or their partners’); assuming caregiving responsibilities for aging relatives; grieving the deaths of parents, siblings, and partners; retiring from careers and starting new lives; and potentially moving into some form of senior living. Drawing from her extensive clinical and personal experience working with this population, Kathy Labriola provides anecdotes from polyamorous elders’ lives, including the constellation of relationships surrounding each individual, couple, or triad. This guide will help health care and mental health clinicians, researchers, and professionals, as well as polyamorous elders and their loved ones, better understand the concerns and diverse lifestyles of this population to better represent and support them.

The Outcast Daughter
Have you ever watched the news and been so haunted by a story that you had to know more about those involved? In the documentary film Irreclaimable, this is exactly what happens to Justin Toppins. For more than a year, he sets to learn about the dark world of sex trafficking. He sits down with the victims, sex workers, and even law enforcement. He starts with the hope of simply learning from each person's story but soon finds it impossible to separate the harrowing tales from the kind and thoughtful people who lived through them.
Tiere und Fabelwesen im Mittelalter
Tiere faszinieren – und das nicht erst seit sie als Helden von Zoo- und anderen Tiergeschichten die Medien erobern. Heute wird das Tier entweder zum Gebrauchs- und Verbrauchsobjekt degradiert oder als „besserer Mensch“ gefeiert. Im Mittelalter dagegen ist der Kontakt zum Tier als Nahrungsspender, Arbeitskraft, Transportmittel und Jagdobjekt bzw. -begleiter noch viel unmittelbarer. Die Zoologie ist noch nicht als eigene Wissenschaft etabliert. Das Verständnis vom Tier wird vielmehr von der christlichen Religion geprägt. Insofern sind Tiere auch in der Bildenden Kunst und Literatur vieldeutige Symbolträger. Der hier vorgelegte Band legt den Fokus ganz dezidiert auf das Tier als Gegenstand und vor allem als Medium der geistigen Erfassung von Welt und Mensch durch den mittelalterlichen Menschen. Ziel des interdisziplinär konzipierten Bandes ist es zu zeigen, wie das Tier in maßgeblichen mittelalterlichen Diskursen (Religion und Wissenschaft, Jagdalltag und Wappenwesen, Literatur und Kunst) zum Medium der Erkenntnis und Vergegenwärtigung, der Strukturierung und Ordnung sowie der Deutung und Bewältigung von Welt wird.
Na zgodę. 5 kłótni, które wzmocnią wasz związek
Myślisz, że tylko tobie i twojemu partnerowi zdarzają się kłótnie? Oczywiście, że nie. Książka Joanny Harrison, która od wielu lat prowadzi psychoterapię par, pomaga zrozumieć, o czym tak naprawdę są nasze kłótnie, jak się rzadziej kłócić i szybciej godzić. Zdaniem Harrison istnieje pięć różnych tematów, przez które wszystkie pary muszą przebrnąć. Obszary, który wywołują największe napięcia, to: jak się ze sobą porozumiewamy, jakie mamy relacje z rodziną i krewnymi ze strony partnera/partnerki, jak dzielimy między sobą zadania i obowiązki, jak ustalamy granicę dystansu/bliskości między sobą, jak reagujemy na nasze ciała. Nie chodzi o to, aby za wszelką cenę unikać kłótni – wręcz przeciwnie. Trudne rozmowy stwarzają często możliwość rozwoju związku. Różnice poglądów to okazja do tego, by się czegoś więcej dowiedzieć o sprawach, na których nam zależy, oraz nauczyć akceptowalnych dla obu stron rozwiązań.
