Abstract

Transgendered people often complain that psychiatrists cannot fulfil the dual role of therapist and gatekeeper for gender reassignment services and this book is helpful in acknowledging that fact. Given that these guidelines are based on shared international criteria, the book will be of greatest value to the GP or mental health professional who is new to this topic.
