Do the New APA Guidelines for Transgender-Affirmative Care Go Far Enough

http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/08/28/new_apa_guidelines_for_transgender_care_do_they_go_far_enough.html

Slate/By David S Byers and Joel Coburn    08/28/2015

"On Aug. 6, the American Psychological Association announced 16 basic guidelines for transgender-affirmative psychological care. The culmination of three years of work, they offer an introduction for clinicians seeking to provide sensitive care for transgender and gender-nonconforming clients. These guidelines do not replace more specific assessment and treatment standards established by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. Rather, the guidelines give a clear explanation of terms and concepts, recommendations for supportive therapy and research, and some acknowledgement of the violence, abuse, and stress many transgender and gender-nonconforming people face."
