Working with Transgender Clients:
Clinical Issues, Standards of Care and Assessment of Gender Identity
Date: Friday, October 17, 2008
Place: University Inn & Conference Center
611 Ocean Street
Santa Cruz
Transgender culture and continuum-based gender identity are cutting-edge concepts for our clinical practice and society in general. It has been only in the last 9 years that transgender has become a well-known and non-pathologized concept in the mass media. Clinical approaches for transgender clients are changing, as we more fully understand their experience.
This training will include:
Transgender Clinical Issues
Current Cultural Terminology
Key Concepts for Clinicians
Standards of Care from WPATH (World Professional Assoc for Transgender Health)
Assessment of Gender Identity
Differential Diagnostic Assessment
Documentation Changes and Legal Issues
Effective Therapeutic Approaches
Agency Environment Recommendations
