Description
This volume provides fundamental and evidence-based information on working with transgender and gender diverse people in mental health settings.

It provides background information on the historical context ofcare with transgender clients, clarifying terminology, and helping the reader understand diverse experiences of gender. The expert authors outline the key qualities of competent practice with trans clients, such as the use of affirming language and providing a safe environment, and strategies for improving inclusivity and evidence-based care.

Authors Dickey and Puckett provide insight into current topics, such as the proper use of pronouns, working with youth, suicide and self-injury, and problematic approaches such as conversion therapy and rapid onset gender dysphoria. Practitioners will find the printable resources invaluable for their clinical practice, including sample letters of support for trans clients who are seeking gender-affirming medical care.
