This book examines issues across the lifespan of transgender and nonbinary individuals whilst synthesizing conceptual work, empirical evidence, pedagogical content, educational experiences, and the voices of transgender and nonbinary individuals. It highlights the resilience and resistance of transgender and nonbinary individuals and communities to challenge narratives relying on one-dimensional perspectives of risk and tragic lives.
While there is currently unprecedented visibility and increasing support, members of these communities still face shockingly high rates of violence, victimization, unemployment, discrimination, and family rejection. Significant need for services and support coupled with social, clinical, and medical service systems ill-equipped to provide culturally responsive care illustrates the critical need for quality education and training of educators, practitioners, and service providers in best practices of working with members of the transgender and nonbinary community.
Organized into six sections:
Health
Areas of Practice
Coming Out and Family
Relationships and Sexuality
Communities
Multiply Marginalized Identities and Populations,
this book offers a current, comprehensive, and intersectional guide for students, practitioners, and researchers across a variety of professions, including social work, psychology, public policy, and health care.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book captures a depth and breadth of knowledge, practice and skill that should be required for all social work students and practitioners. It serves as an outstanding model of centering lived experiences, both in theory and in practice, and I cannot wait to refer people to it!" - Eli R. Green, CSES, The Transgender Training Institute, USA
"An extensive chronicle of the systems of oppression baked into our current structures and the everyday discrimination experienced by transgender and nonbinary communities. This work does justice to communities' resistance in the face of this oppression and provides actionable anti-oppressive solutions for change. By co-creating knowledge with transgender and nonbinary authors, this book maximizes the impact it will have on the world." - Kimberly Bender, University of Denver, USA
"Once in a while a new book is published that opens your mind, and introduces you to new ideas, new concepts and new ways of practicing. Grounded in the most recent research and thinking about trans and nonbinary people and written in a scholarly style, while remaining a text that can stimulate and encourage competent discussions and debate amongst scholars and students in the classroom, this is a book which every practitioner should not only have on their bookshelves, but one that they should actually read and incorporate into their practice." - Gerald Mallon, Hunter College, USA
"An important work that rights a long-standing injustice in scholarship related to trans and nonbinary identities. With citations by pre-eminent scholars within the transgender community, it provides a rare authenticity while maintaining intellectual rigor. It references the work of the same experts that I turned to when I founded Trans Lifeline and embodies much of the spirit with which we did our work. For providers who honestly wish to engage in healing work in the transgender community I know of no better resource." - Greta Gustava Martela, Trans Lifeline founder, USA
