Transgender Care - Gianna E. Israel & Donald E. Tarver II - Psychology & Gender Studies

Transgender Care: Recommended Guidelines, Practical Information, and Personal Accounts by Gianna E. Israel and Donald E. Tarver II.

A substantial guide to transgender experience and care, combining professional perspectives with the voices and personal experiences of transgender people themselves.

Written as a resource for transgender people and the professionals supporting them, the book explores mental health, hormone treatment, surgery, relationships, employment, coming out, discrimination and support.

The first part provides detailed chapters on healthcare, psychotherapy, transgender youth, cultural diversity and practical considerations. The second brings together personal and professional essays covering experiences of transition, employment, insurance and transgender studies.

Originally published in the late 1990s, this is now particularly interesting as an earlier work in the development of transgender healthcare and gender studies.

Please note that some medical guidance, terminology and resources are dated and should not be treated as current healthcare advice.

A specialist title for readers and researchers interested in psychology, gender studies, social history, healthcare history and LGBTQ+ studies.

Very good used condition, with light signs of previous handling and minor cover and corner wear. The interior pages are clean and very well presented, as shown in the photographs.

Collection available in Gorey, Co. Wexford, or postage anywhere in Ireland at the buyer's expense.
