We're going to press on this fabulous book tomorrow (Friday 12/29). I'd recommend you purchase your copy today. Several colleges have already placed orders for hundreds of copies!

Do you have a friend, co-worker, or family member who is transgendered? Are you transgendered yourself and looking for a book to give to the people in your life, to help them understand what it all means? Are you seeking understanding on your own behalf? Are you a therapist, looking for helpful information about how to work with a transgendered client? This is the book for you! Written in an easy-to-read style, “Transition and Beyond” will help anyone seeking accurate information about what it means (and doesn’t mean) to be transgendered.

Transition is a complex process, changing every relationship in the individual’s life. “Transition and Beyond” addresses the myriad issues that can arise:

• Partner/spouse responses
• Telling parents
• Telling children
• Fundamentalists transitioning
• Addiction and transition
• Workplace disclosure
• How young is too young to transition?
• What “support” looks like
• Learning the rules of a new gender role
• What does “post-transition” look like?

Author Reid Vanderburgh brings a unique perspective to his writing, as a licensed therapist and someone who transitioned (female-to-male) in the mid-1990s. “Transition and Beyond” grew out of his work with several hundred transgendered clients, seeking guidance in answering the question, “How do I want to live my life?”

"An ideal essential resource for therapists new to working with transgendered and transsexual clients, and a breath of fresh air for those already so engaged. A great source of insight to the therapeutic process for trans people and their partners, families, and friends. The chapters on addiction and recovery, fundamentalist religions and reparative therapy, and partners' issues are particularly enlightening, helpful, and soundly reasoned. Most highly recommended!"
