People with gender identity problems are increasingly often
encountered by health professionals. The problems are often
imagined to consist only of transsexuality, but actually comprise
of both this and many other diagnoses. Properly establishing a
diagnosis and excluding alternatives including psychosis, partial
androgen insensitivity syndromes and personality disorder is
complex. The subsequent management of these disorders and their
differential diagnoses is even more so. Transsexual and other
Disorders of Gender Identity provides a comprehensive and extremely
practical account of the management of disorders of gender identity
and their differential diagnoses. Particular consideration is given
to, among others, coincidental mental illness, disability, family
and relationship issues, forensic and military settings.
Psychological and endocrine aspects are covered in depth, surgical
aspects to a level adequate for all but a specialist surgeon, and
legal aspects to the level generally needed by health
professionals. This book provides vital detail for general
practitioners, surgeons, endocrinologists, speech therapists,
social workers and, especially, psychiatrists.I conceived and
edited this book because when asked for recommended reading on the
practicalities of treatment for disorders of gender identity I had
nothing to suggest to others. I was always able to provide lists of
books which dealt with the classification of gender identity
disorders, and texts rich with competing aetiological theories.
There were also fascinating sociopolitical (including post-modern)
expositions. The problem always came with recommending practical
texts for everyday clinical use. - James Barrett, in the Preface.
