Download or read book Gender Dysphoria written by Susan Evans and published by Phoenix Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of children and young people who diagnose themselves as gender dysphoric, or trans. In the UK, and worldwide, there is a growing tendency to refer them on to 'specialist' gender services almost as soon as they express any confusion or distress about their biological sex or gender identity. Due to the rapidly rising numbers and various pressures on the system, patients are increasingly likely to be offered life-altering medication and/or surgical treatments, often with little exploration of their emotional world. As so little is yet known or understood regarding this increase in gender incongruent patients, it seems precipitous to proceed onto physical treatments before any assessment work is undertaken. Many who present as gender dysphoric have complex needs with comorbid problems such as autism, histories of abuse or trauma, social phobias, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health symptoms. Therefore, all aspects of the individual's life deserve thorough assessment and therapeutic work. This book is aimed primarily at clinicians working in the field to provide a model for understanding, assessing, and treating gender dysphoria. The model uses a psychoanalytic framework to help explain disturbed states of mind and how psychic defences can be enlisted unconsciously to avoid overwhelming psychic pain. This offers professionals a way of trying to think with, and offer understanding to, their trans-identifying clients. Clinical examples are given to illustrate these processes and promote the understanding of transgender children, adolescents, and young people and their internal worlds, their thinking, and their interpersonal relationships. As well as clinical exploration and understanding, the book includes an overview of the current political, social, and clinical environments which have all impacted on the clinical care of trans-identifying individuals. As well as professional and trainee clinicians, this book might also prove useful to parents, other professionals, and possibly the gender dysphoric person too.

Book Synopsis Gender Dysphoria and Gender Incongruence by : Walter Bouman
Download or read book Gender Dysphoria and Gender Incongruence written by Walter Bouman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant increase in people who self-diagnose as having gender dysphoria and gender incongruence. The number of people with gender dysphoria and gender incongruence who seek assessment, support and treatment at gender identity clinic services has increased substantially over the years globally, and in Europe, North America and Australia in particular. Many countries lack appropriate transgender healthcare services. People with gender dysphoria and/or gender incongruence are often victimized and discriminated against. This book gives an overview regarding mental health and quality of life issues across the life span within the evolving interdisciplinary field of transgender healthcare. The book is written for professionals who in their day-to-day job may encounter people with gender dysphoria and gender incongruence; and for students, teachers, educators, academics, and members of the public at large with an interest in this timely topic. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Review of Psychiatry.
Book Synopsis Irreversible Damage by : Abigail Shrier
Download or read book Irreversible Damage written by Abigail Shrier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE TIMES AND THE SUNDAY TIMES "Irreversible Damage . . . has caused a storm. Abigail Shrier, a Wall Street Journal writer, does something simple yet devastating: she rigorously lays out the facts." —Janice Turner, The Times of London Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively. But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.” Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility. Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters. A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.

Book Synopsis Psychology and Gender Dysphoria by : Jemma Tosh
Download or read book Psychology and Gender Dysphoria written by Jemma Tosh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatry and psychology have a long and highly debated history in relation to gender. In particular, they have attracted criticism for policing the boundaries of ‘normal’ gender expression through gender identity diagnoses, such as transvestism, transsexualism, gender identity disorder and gender dysphoria. Drawing on discursive psychology, this book traces the historical development of psychiatric constructions of ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ gender expression. It contextualizes the recent reconstruction of gender in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and its criteria for gender dysphoria. This latest diagnosis illustrates the continued disagreement and debate within the profession surrounding gender identity as ‘disordered’. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on the conflicted history between feminist and transgender communities in the changing context of a more trans-positive feminism, and the implications of these diagnoses for these distinct but linked communities. Psychology and Gender Dysphoria examines debates and controversies surrounding psychiatric diagnoses and theories related to gender and gender nonconformity by exploring recent research, examples of collaborative perspectives, and existing feminist and trans texts. As such, the book is relevant for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers of gender, feminism, and critical psychology as well as historical issues within psychiatry.

Book Synopsis Transgender Medicine by : Leonid Poretsky
Download or read book Transgender Medicine written by Leonid Poretsky and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-22 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although transgender persons have been present in various societies throughout human history, it is only during the last several years that they have become widely acknowledged in our society and their right to quality medical care has been established. In the United States, endocrinologists have been providing hormonal therapy for transgender individuals for decades; however, until recently, there has been only limited literature on this subject, and non-endocrine aspects of medical care for transgender individual have not been well addressed in the endocrine literature. The goal of this volume is not only to address the latest in hormonal therapy for transgender individuals (including pediatric and geriatric age groups), but also to familiarize the reader with other aspects of transgender care, including primary and surgical care, fertility preservation, and the management of HIV infection. In addition to medical issues, psychological, social, ethical and legal issues pertinent to transgender individuals add to the complexities of successful treatment of these patients. A final chapter includes extensive additional resources for both transgender patients and providers. Thus, an endocrinologist providing care to a transgender person will be able to use this single resource to address most of the patient’s needs. While Transgender Medicine is intended primarily for endocrinologists, this book will be also useful to primary care physicians, surgeons providing gender-confirming procedures, mental health professionals participating in the care of transgender persons, and medical residents and students.

Book Synopsis The Beginners Guide to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria by : John-Paul Byrne
Download or read book The Beginners Guide to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria written by John-Paul Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you suffer from intense feelings of rejection? Do you experience deep emotional and physical intensity that is manifested without warning? Maybe you know someone who seems to be overly sensitive to perceived or real rejection and then presents irrational behaviour?RSD stands for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. It can seriously impact the quality of life of an individual. If you experience intense emotional and/or physical pain when you perceive rejection, then you may have RSD. Whilst it is commonly attributed to those who have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and is not an officially recognised mental health disorder, the author felt it necessary to educate and help sufferers.This book will introduce you to RSD and help you understand what it is. You will discover who it affects and how it feels to suffer from it. The Beginners Guide to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, the first book in the series Understanding and Identifying Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, will also teach you what causes RSD, how rejection is really triggered, behaviours that it presents, treatments and next steps.This book has been written by someone who has experienced the challenges, intensity, inner turmoil and destructive impacts to relationships and well being as a result of having Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. Written from the experience of an RSD sufferer with a keen analytical, logical approach to solving problems, a passion for language and communication; this book is easy to read and can be used to educate yourself or as a tool to support someone else who has RSD. It is possible whilst having RSD to nurture a sense of being OK in the present moment. As stated, RSD is highly comorbid in other mental health conditions such as ADHD. This book intentionally focuses on RSD as there is very limited written material for RSD in isolation and yet would be valuable to so many sufferers.Those who suffer with RSD live an internalised experience of deep rejection. This internal experience is manifested at quantum speeds, with deep emotional pain and intensity experienced almost instantly with little understanding of how the mind got there so quickly. The only control we have is internal. The reader is asked to believe in the possible and suspend any beliefs that RSD is a chemical brain imbalance that cannot be improved or thrived from.The author shares with you, that this book is written as much for himself as it is for You. Quantifying, verbalising, analysing and disseminating his experiences enabled the discovery of an approach to circumvent RSD which is taught in later series he writes on this topic. The accepted norm of chemical brain dysfunction is that we can do nothing about it. The author, whilst recognising that this may be true, challenges the collective acceptance by presenting a model based approach to improving the lives of RSD sufferers.

Book Synopsis Gender Dysphoria by : Michelle Serena
Download or read book Gender Dysphoria written by Michelle Serena and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Dysphoria: Understanding the Symptoms and Treating Gender Dysphoria Researcher and author, Michelle Serena tackles the controversial subject of transgenderism and gender dysphoria in her new eBook, Gender Dysphoria. With all the recent information in the news on transgender people this book comes at the right time. I Am Cait, the new show about the life of Caitlyn Jenner as she transitions into her new world separate from "Bruce Jenner" is a startling reminder that this dysphoria is not only real, but that individuals who are going through this condition have options and have a bright life in front of them when they find self-acceptance and a community of supportive friends. Gender Dysphoria is not a comprehensive book, nor a substitution for medical advice. It is a guide for family and friends who are curious about the subject and need to get a handle on what is going on with someone they love who is transgender. It is also a helpful book for school-aged people who may have to report on transgender studies or even to better understand their fellow students. The book helps the reader determine what is transgenderism, the possible biological reasons for it, treatments that are possible, and the various attributes of the condition. Readers will find useful information on the topic, and hopefully receive the type of understanding that will enable the transgender peoples in their life to have a point of departure for positive discussion. The eBook discusses male-to-female transgenders, female-to-male, and the hormonal and surgical options that many of them will undertake to find some relief from their condition. It also goes into the risks associated with the various treatment options, and for this reason is also a good resource for family members who have been asked to provide emotional support to the transgender person who is considering hormone therapy and possible Sexual Reasssignment Surgery (SRS).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiety. It's out there and it's messing things up for us all. But for some of us, it's really messing things up. As a trans woman, Freiya Benson is super anxious a lot of the time - from feeling unsafe in social situations, to worrying about how she looks and sounds - but over the years she has developed a toolkit for managing anxiety as a trans and/or non-binary person. Exploring specific triggers such as coming out, gender dysphoria, voice anxiety, transphobia, validity, passing and gender expectations, this guide will help you to identify and understand your triggers and anxiety, and build the resilience you need to handle life's challenges. With advice and personal stories from a range of trans people, this book highlights the importance of self-care and being proud of who you are and highlights how trans people can flourish both individually and as a community when their anxiety is no longer in charge.
Download or read book Cold World written by Dominic Fox and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To live well in the world one must be able to enjoy it: to love, Freud says, and work. Dejection is the state of being in which such enjoyment is no longer possible. There is an aesthetic dimension to dejection, in which the world appears in a new light. In this book, the dark serenity of dejection is examined through a study of the poetry of Hopkins and Coleridge, and the music of depressive black metal artists such as Burzum and Xasthur. The author then develops a theory of militant dysphoria via an analysis of the writings of the Red Army Fraction's activist-theoretician, Ulrike Meinhof. The book argues that the cold world of dejection is one in which new creative and political possibilities, as well as dangers, can arise. It is not enough to live well in the world: one must also be able to affirm that another world is possible.
Book Synopsis Depression and Dysphoria in the Fiction of David Foster Wallace by : Rob Mayo
Download or read book Depression and Dysphoria in the Fiction of David Foster Wallace written by Rob Mayo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression and Dysphoria in the Fiction of David Foster Wallace is the first full-length study of this critically overlooked theme, addressing a major gap in Wallace studies. Wallace has long been recognised as a ‘depression laureate’ inheriting a mantle previously held by Sylvia Plath due to the frequent and remarkable depictions of depressed characters in his fiction. However, this book resists taking Wallace’s fiction at face value and instead situates close reading of his complex fictions in theoretical dialogue both with philosophical and theoretical texts and with contemporary authors and infl uences. This book explores Wallace’s complex engagement with philosophical and medical ideas of emotional suffering and demonstrates how this evolves over his career. The shifts in Wallace’s thematic focus on various forms of dysphoria, including heartache, loneliness, boredom, and anxiety, as well as depression, correspond to an increasingly pessimistic philosophy underlying his fiction.
