| Popis: | The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of helpful clinical practices when working with transgender adult individuals.While the number of openly transgender individuals appears to be growing with society's increased acceptance and awareness, many neuropsychologists have had few opportunities to gain experience with this patient population. In this article, we review the existing literature as it relates to clinical neuropsychological practice.We describe important terminology, ideals for creating an environment of respect, and how existing clinical guidelines for transgender individuals may apply to neuropsychology. In addition, we review the primary steps in the assessment process and provide a set of principles and recommendations for conducting neuropsychological assessments with transgender patients.There is a paucity of guidance in the field for working with transgender individuals. This article represents a step forward in the dialog and we look forward to future research that develops appropriate normative information, increases understanding of psychosocial factors, and better appreciates the range of hormonal influences for transgender individuals. |
