A Clinician's Guide to Gender-Affirming Care, Second Edition: Working with Trans and Nonbinary Clients

"Trans and nonbinary (TNB) clients have complex mental health concerns, and are more likely than ever to seek out treatment. At the same time, best practices for treating this population have evolved. This professional guide presents the latest research and recommendations to provide you with the requisite knowledge, skills, and awareness needed to improve treatment outcomes. Written by two leading TNB specialists, A Clinician's Guide to Gender-Affirming Care offers interventions that are uniquely tailored to TNB clients, and that consider cultural intersections such as race, class, and religion. You'll find up‑to‑date information on language, etiquette, and appropriate communication when treating TNB clients, as well as an outline of the history, cultural context, and ethical and legal issues that can arise. You'll also find information about informed consent when providing assessment and referral for the purposes of gender‑affirming medical care, such as hormones, surgery, and other procedures. This second edition features new information on the current state of gender-affirming care, providing care across a client's lifespan, conceptualization and collaboration in transition-related care, supporting gender-expansive youth and their parents, advances in research, and more. Given the changes in transgender health care, insurance coverage, and the legislative and sociopolitical landscape, it is essential to understand trans and nonbinary clients' needs. This book provides the vital insights, practical exercises, and skills you need to help your TNB clients thrive."

All Parts Welcome: The Queer and Trans Internal Family Systems Workbook

"If you are queer or transgender, you may feel like you have to hide certain aspects of yourself in order to 'blend into' society. You may even feel ashamed of your differences. You aren't alone. Many queer and trans people feel disconnected from their authentic selves, or have internalized negative beliefs. So, how can you fully embrace the beauty of who you are? All Parts Welcome offers skills grounded in internal family systems (IFS) therapy to help you build self-compassion, strength, and resilience as you reconnect with, reclaim, and befriend parts of yourself. The concept of multiplicity in IFS will show you how to honor all parts of your identity and help you gain a greater understanding of these parts. This workbook will help you: heal the pain of rejection; honor coping mechanisms that have helped you; identify what matters to you; set boundaries; build community and meaningful connection; and boost your mental health. IFS is about inclusion and belonging—about making space for the complexity of our identities and experiences, including both the challenging and joyful ones. If you're ready to celebrate all of the parts that make you you, this workbook can help you get started."

A Clinician's Guide to Gender-Affirming Care: Working with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Clients

"Transgender and gender nonconforming (TNGC) clients have complex mental health concerns, and are more likely than ever to seek out treatment. This comprehensive resource outlines the latest research and recommendations to provide you with the requisite knowledge, skills, and awareness to treat TNGC clients with competent and affirming care. As you know, TNGC clients have different needs based on who they are in relation to the world. Written by three psychologists who specialize in working with the TGNC population, this important book draws on the perspective that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for working with TNGC clients. It offers interventions tailored to developmental stages and situational factors—for example, cultural intersections such as race, class, and religion. This book provides up-to-date information on language, etiquette, and appropriate communication and conduct in treating TGNC clients, and discusses the history, cultural context, and ethical and legal issues that can arise in working with gender-diverse individuals in a clinical setting. You'll also find information about informed consent approaches that call for a shift in the role of the mental health provider in the position of assessment and referral for the purposes of gender-affirming medical care (such as hormones, surgery, and other procedures)."
