Description

This book addresses the emerging field of genderqueer or non-binary genders – that is, individuals who do not identify as male or female. It considers theoretical, research, practice, and activist perspectives; and outlines a basis for good practice when working with non-binary individuals.� The first section provides an overview of historical, legal and academic aspects of this phenomenon. The second section explores how psychotherapeutic, psychological and psychiatric theory and practice are adapting to a non-binary model of gender, and the third section considers the body related aspects, from endocrinology to surgery.� This work will appeal to a wide readership, from practitioners working with non-binary individuals – including psychologists, surgeons, social workers, nurses, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, psychotherapists and counselors, lawyers, and healthcare workers – to researchers interested in the study of gender identities, to students and gender activists.Typham this is the title: Genderqueer and Non-Binary Genders
