Opis

Gender variance is widely misunderstood and few medical texts examine the social, legal, emotional, historical and biological issues. Each chapter focuses upon a different aspect of transgender medical care and is written by an authority on that sub-specialty. The book is especially focused on the surgical aspect on this issue. Male to female surgery is widely discussed as well as the female to male conversion. Full information on hormone administration and aesthetic surgery are provided. Mental health issues are also described, as well as ethics, the law and psychosocial issues. The text is extensively referenced and includes numerous photos, tables and figures to clearly illustrate information. Based on collaboration between international experts in transgender health, this book is an essential guide for health care professionals, educators, students, patients and patients' families concerning the psychological, hormonal, surgical and social support of transgender individuals.
