Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care

Melding cutting-edge neuroscience, clinical research, best practices, and mental health policy and systems design, Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care is the first textbook of its kind to provide an affirming, intersectional, and evidence-informed approach to caring for transgender, non-binary, and/or gender-expansive (TNG) people.

In fields that include psychiatry, psychology, pharmacy, law, community activism, and more, contributors bring their expertise to the forefront as they discuss working with people from marginalized communities; providing developmentally appropriate care for TNG people; and affirming gender identity in the context of mental illness, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, among other pressing issues. And because each chapter features at least one TNG author, this guide also offers an important, lived-experience perspective to its wealth of clinical information.

Indispensable for mental health and primary care clinicians and informative for neuroscientists and clinical researchers, Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care is a rigorous, unrivaled, and timely resource for all who seek to deliver evidence-based and affirming care for TNG patients.
