Abstrakt: Practical Guideline on Dealing with Transgender Patients in Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Settings Abstract: The guideline provided by the Federal Association of Leading Medical Directors for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry offers a framework for dealing with transgender patients in child and adolescent psychiatric clinics. It addresses the clinical challenges arising from the significant increase in transgender patients and the paradigm shift in the medical field. The guideline includes recommendations for dealing with transgender patients in various settings. Key treatment principles comprise adopting a destigmatizing approach, using preferred names and pronouns, accommodating individual room assignments, and considering relevant comorbidities. Only experienced medical doctors and psychotherapists should carry out diagnosis and treatment. The goals for supporting adolescents with gender dysphoria include promoting self-acceptance, addressing negative emotions, facilitating social integration, and fostering identity development.
