Adult Transgender Care provides an excellent nuts and bolts approach to providing competent gender affirming care in adults. The book is written by top authors in the field in a user-friendly, case-based approach. I highly recommend this book for students, post-doctoral fellows, mental health clinicians, primary care physicians or anyone who is interested in learning more about how to follow the best practices in transgender care.

This is a wonderful new resource for any clinician working with trans-identified individuals. It is unbelievably practical! Written by some of the best clinicians in the field, this is a must have book as an easy primer as well as an easy reference guide.

Adult Transgender Care, edited by Michael Kauth and Jillian Shipherd, is a long overdue practical guide to comprehensive interdisciplinary transgender care for mental health professionals and trainees. It meets a pressing need, arriving at a time when few clinicians have received much training in this area despite a growing demand for services. In addition to being a valuable resource for seasoned clinicians, trainees and everyone in between, its breadth of coverage would make it an ideal textbook for courses in transgender care.

All chapters have a very trans-affirming tone and many include passages on the importance of recognizing and supporting clients with nonbinary identities...This is a useful sourcebook that clearly and succinctly presents a wide range of information needed by mental health professionals who wish to work with transgender adult clients.
