Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Gender variance is widely misunderstood, and few medical texts examine the social, legal, emotional, historical, biological, and economic issues involved. Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery provides medical and health care guidelines and comprehensive information on all aspects of treatment of gender diverse individuals. This one-of-a-kind resource examines a full range of relevant data important to health care professionals. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of care, written by an authority on that sub-specialty. This practical guide instructs both novices and experienced practitioners on the state-of-the-art treatments and knowledge.

Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery is a scholarly medical text assembled from meticulously didactic essays by a wide variety of authors. Each chapter focuses upon a different aspect of transgender medical care, from "The Etiology of Transsexualism" to "Mental Health Issues", "Reproduction and Fertility Issues for Transpeople", "Surgery: Male-to-Female Patient", "Surgery: Female-to-Male Patient", and much more. A highly technical resource written especially for medical professionals in the field, Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery lives up to its title and is an absolute "must-have" for anyone in the practice.

This book is one of the better anthologies of care and research articles regarding transgender and transsexual individuals to come out in print. The information is needed and the format is reasonably accessible to both lay and clincial people. There are aspects of the material and information that remain slanted toward a paternalistic methodology and worldview, however, the overall knowledge outweighs these issues at this time. Readers who are themselves transgender may find some of the viewpoints and recommendations to miss the experience and lack in-depth understanding of what is happening and what it is like to "be" transgender. Readers in the United States will find some of the optimism in dealing with mental health clients and suicidality especially frustrating as the articles are written primarily from a European experience in which transgender care is covered by national health insurance. In light of this difference, some of the hopeful assurances suggested to use with clients to reduce suicidal thoughts would be utterly useless in the USA and moreover, the absence of trasngender coverage for care often increases suicidality and other health concerns and risks in the USA. It would have been helpful to have a section on dealing with transgender health care and barriers to care in the USA, in particular due to the disparity of health care coverage between the USA and the rest of the world. This book remains an exciting publication and a much needed beginning in filing the void of medical and mental health care information for those who work with transgender individuals.
