Division 44 of the American Psychological Association includes the Committee on Consensual NonMonogamy (for which I serve as the chair of the Legal Issues SubCommittee), and they have recently released materials with best practices for serving clients in polyamorous and other consensually nonmonogamous relationships. My most recently blog on Psychology Today explains Division 44, the Committee on CNM, and provides links to the materials they have produced.
