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.
