Transgender Identities
'There could not be a more appropriate, indeed urgently needed, time for a serious, empathic consideration of transgender identity. As cultural norms are dramatically shifting and identity politics are often highly polarized, it is both an act of courage and clinical sophistication for Professor Lemma to ask simply and directly how individuals find a "hospitable home" in their bodies. From that simple but profound question comes a call for a respectfully challenging consideration of how we can clinically do better for those individuals with transgender identity and at the same time, encourage a more tolerant, accepting society for all. This is a book clinicians working with adolescents and young adults in our contemporary culture cannot afford to pass by for it necessarily challenges day to day practice around transgender identity.'
