Elisabeth Sheff

Dr. Elisabeth Sheff, a sociologist and leading expert on polyamorous families with children, dives into the world of polyamory. She uncovers how common myths—like the notion that polyamorous relationships are purely about sex—distort understanding. Discussion points include the emotional development of children in poly families and how they actually thrive. Dr. Sheff also tackles the complexities of jealousy versus 'compersion' and the unique family dynamics that come into play, all while promoting a more nuanced view of consensual non-monogamy.
