Multidynamic Relational Therapy

MRT Theoretical Tenets:

• Problems in intimate relationships often are hampered by a lack of flexibility between partners.

• Rules and roles based on gender/gender scripts create rigidity, lack of creative solutions and oppressive stances.

• Adhering to rigid templates impact intimacy, closeness, affection and eventually expressiveness.

• Power in relationships deserve to be shared and evaluated consistently.

• Radical emancipation is a process of embodying liberation in oneself and casting off the demands of societal expectations in relationships.

Multidynamic Relational Therapy is a theoretical model that centers the lived experiences of same sex couples of color and standardizes the flexibility and liberation of their relationship as the norm of healthy intimate relationships.
