"Winner, Division 44 Distinguished Book Award ""This book is long overdue and very much needed by mental health professionals. Trans and gender-expansive people have historically been mistreated, in both senses of the word, when they have sought counseling. Singh and dickey's collection is invaluable for offering a comprehensive overview of how therapists can and must support their trans clients and for addressing the experiences of trans populations often overlooked or underrepresented in other works -- nonbinary trans people, trans people of color, trans people of faith, and older trans people."" --Genny Beemyn, PhD, coauthor of The Lives of Transgender People ""This must-own resource for all mental health professionals and educators covers the cutting edge in trans and gender nonconforming issues and intersectionality from birth to old age. Chapters on children; ethics; legal issues; and spirituality, faith, and religion expand our knowledge and understanding."" --Louise Douce, PhD, former Assistant Vice President, Office of Student Life, Ohio State University, Columbus ""An up-to-date, comprehensive guide to foster mental health and resilience among transgender and gender nonconforming youth, adults, and their families. Truly affirmative of the full spectrum of diversity in gender identity and expression."" --Walter Bockting, PhD, Codirector, Program for the Study of LGBT Health, New York State Psychiatric Institute ""A broadly relevant, timely, and accessible resource for mental health providers (MHPs) of various disciplines, including psychology, counseling, and social work."" --PsycCRITIQUES"
