Series: Leading Conversations on Black Sexualities and Identities

In a clinical landscape where traditional therapy models have historically been researched, constructed from, and designed for white heterosexual couples, this book offers an innovative framework to address the challenges, nuances, and strengths of diverse identities and relationships.

Drawing from Attachment Theory, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and the rich history and resiliency of Black LGBTQIA+ communities from the Harlem Renaissance to contemporary Ballroom culture, Multidynamic Relational Therapy (MRT) transforms centuries of wisdom and resilience into a practical five-step framework. This model specifically addresses issues of rigidity, power dynamics, and attunement in loving relationships while helping client systems break free from society's limiting scripts about love and connection. Through compelling clinical examples, Dr. Pennant demonstrates how this framework helps individuals navigate intimate relationships and generational trauma, moving beyond merely solving problems to achieve ""Radical Emancipation""— the complete rewriting of relationship rules to create partnerships that are authentically their own.

This pioneering book provides clinicians with a versatile framework applicable to individuals, couples, families, and various relational constellations. It is an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals committed to culturally responsive practice and helping clients develop relationship patterns that honor their full humanity and unique relational needs.
