Gender loving care : a guide to counseling gender-variant clients

R. Ettner

Guidance for counselors working with transsexuals: men who want to be women, and women who want to be men. While transsexualism has always been part of the human experience, only recently have people "trapped in the wrong body" sought psychological care in large numbers. This book provides background about this condition, enabling clinicians to help people undergoing gender transition as they deal with hormonal treatments, legal dilemmas, surgical options, family destabilization, and work-related issues. An accessible book with little or no trade jargon used.
