Transgender and LGBTQ Mental Health
April 16, 2019
Societal awareness of transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) individuals is greater now than at any point in history, owing to the education of policy makers by advocacy organizations, the education of clinicians by research and scientific organizations, and the education of the general public by movies, television, and other media. However, most professional training programs for mental health professionals provide little to no education regarding gender diversity.
Psychiatry Unbound examines these issues in an honest and intimate conversation between Drs. Laura Roberts and Eric Yarbrough. Dr. Roberts then discusses with Dr. Lawrence McGlynn his experience working within the LGBTQ community.
