摘要
Gender expansive individuals of all ages are at an elevated risk for mental and physical health problems compared not only to the general population, but also to lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. Yet mental healthcare providers tend to be underprepared to provide services to this population, which is due in part to the dearth of scholarship on how to provide competent care to gender-expansive people. The present article introduces themes and terminology crucial to working with this population, as well as three case studies-two individuals and one family-highlighting the nuances inherent in workng with gender expansive clients. We conclude by offering ways to conceptualize each case, and by highlighting certain areas that we believe deserve specific considerations from care providers.
