Not until recently have people with transgender and gender diverse experiences been visible in western culture. With increasing knowledge, therapists are 

better equipped to support gender diverse people 

at various points in their lives.


This presentation will focus on two particular groups  

at opposite ends of the continuum, transgender and gender diverse children, along with older adults.

 

Learning Objectives

· Clarify terminology and concepts which are                 foundational to this work

· Explore the psychosexual development of children

· Review developmental trajectories for gender non-     conforming children into Adolescence and Adulthood,   including best medical and psychological strategies     of working with these special youth

· Identify some of the particular challenges and             stressors facing transgender individuals as they age

· Address the courage & contribution that older             transgender and gender diverse people have made     to the growing social awareness of this community
