Otherfathering blog on Psychology Today

In my most recent blog on Psychology Today I explore the concept of otherfathering and explain how polyaffectivity helps bio dads and social fathers (men with no legal or biological connection to the kids but love those kids even so) stay connected with children, even when the men are no longer having sex with the kids’ mother.

Dr. Elisabeth Sheff, PhD, CASA, CSE

One of a handful of global experts on polyamory and the foremost international expert on children in polyamorous families, Dr. Elisabeth Sheff has studied gender and
families of sexual minorities for the last 16 years. Sheff’s television appearances include CNN, and the National Geographic, and she has given more than 20 radio, podcast, print, and television interviews with sources from Radio Slovenia to National Public Radio, the Sunday London Times to the Boston Globe and Newsweek. By emphasizing research methodology and findings in her discussions, Dr. Sheff presents the kind of public intellectualism that encourages audience members to think critically regarding gender, sexualities, and families.
