Sommario/riassunto |
|
As a clinician, you understand there's no one-size-fits-all approach for working with transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) clients. These clients each require unique treatment methods that address who they are in relation to the world. This comprehensive guide outlines the latest research and recommendations to provide you with the requisite knowledge, skills, and awareness to treat TGNC clients with competent and affirming care. You'll learn about the historical and cultural contexts of this population, as well as ethical and legal issues that can arise when networking with gender-diverse individuals in a clinical setting. You'll also find information about informed consent approaches, and referral for medical procedures such as hormone therapy or surgery. This book provides everything you need to enhance your practice and help your TGNC clients thrive. -- From publisher's description. |
