Treating Trauma in Trans People: an intersectional, phase-based approach by
Treating Trauma in Trans People brings together key concepts from both gender-affirming treatment and trauma-focused care, with interventions focused on resolving physiological, intrapsychic, and interpersonal disruptions. Symptoms related to trauma and stress manifest in bodies, psyches, and interpersonal interactions. Gender, too, is impacted by bodies, psyches, and interpersonal interactions. With chapters that focus on each of these domains, this book provides a framework for clinicians eager to provide trauma-informed, gender-inclusive care. The book then broadens the lens to the systemic, acknowledging the limits of individual interventions when located within a larger framework of systemic oppression and asking clinicians to consider liberation and justice as treatment goals.

Hormone Therapy: a clinical handbook by NOTE: While those undergoing transition are not the target audience for this book, the librarian felt there was significant useful information about hormones, and hormone replacement therapy in general that it would be valuable for those who wish to do a deeper dive into the medical side of things. As more is published on hormone replacement therapy in e-book format, we will add it to the collection. For now, the librarian recommends using the database highlighted below for the latest research in this area.
Hormones: Your Questions Answered by NOTE: While those undergoing transition are not the target audience for this book, Chapter 27, "How are hormones used to help transgender people transition?" has useful information.
Sex Hormones, Exercise and Women: Scientific and Clinical Aspects by NOTE: While those undergoing transition are not the target audience for this book, Chapter 17, "The Transgender Woman and Sport Performance," had potentially useful information.
