Product Description

Review
.,."Particularly important is the integration and explanation of the development processes that are linked to psychosexual outcomes, and the book is especially strong in its detailed review of the existing literature and recent empirical and clinical findings...a stellar contribution to the library and repertoire of individuals working with children and adolescents." --Michael Cunningham, Ph.D., Tulande U, New Orleans, "Readings," September 1996
"In their book, Zucker and Bradley have brought together and critiqued two very large psychological literatures, one from normative gender development and the other from the clinical treatment of gender identity disorders. In addition to serving as a reference text for those working in those two areas, the book will be valuable to both clinicians and researchers by providing a rich collection of case studies as well as quantitative summaries of existing data." --Beverly I. Fagot, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of Oregon, Eugene
"Ken Zucker and Susan Bradley have made a major contribution to child psychiatry with this encyclopedic and extraordinarily informative volume." --Susan Coates, Ph.D.
.,."This book will be of interest to child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, and other therapists with an interest in gender identity and sexuality, including transsexualism. ...this volume represents a comprehensive discourse on all of the up-to-date and extant literature and is highly recommended as a reference text." --Gregory Motayne, "The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry," October 1997
.,."Research and case examples are presented in enough detail to be interesting and understandable but not in so much depthas to become boring...This book is well worth reading for the information that it presents about the normative and atypical development of gender identity, even for clinicians who may never see a juvenile who presents with gender identity issues." --Gregory K. Lehne, Ph.D, "Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease"

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely thorough and competent, 15 May 1999
By A Customer
Even four years after publication this text is a very fine achievement. Very thorough, extremely well referenced, and not extremist in the midst of the various scholarly debates which exist. There do not seem to be major papers since which greatly alter the conclusions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gender Identity Disorder does not exist, but, bigotry does, 9 Mar 1998
By A Customer
How can anyone in the contemporary psycology comunity accept this homophobic and regressive treatment of homosexuality in youths. It is this kind of essentialist, gender role status quo promoting dogma which causes many parent to forcibly institutionalise sane children. Many youths, probally over hundreds have been labled as having "Gender Identity Disorder" simply for refusing to abide to our cultures (or their parents) gender norms. While institutionalised they are exposed to traumatic incidents as quacks try to train them to be straight (or act straight that is). This is no less than an attrocity commited in the name of homophobia and the perpetuation of an increasingly inaccurate and unacceptable gender status quo. Academics of all fields from Anthropology to Sociology, History, Biology and Psycology are comming to realize that gender is merely a western social construct. It exists only in terms of the society that creats it. The academic fields of Queer Theory and Gender Studies now function primarily on this premis and the author of this backward tract seems to have vollunteered to miss the boat in the name or bigotry and child abuse. I would suggest that any one with a serious loving concern for a child with "Gender Identity Sydrom" first consider his or her own homophobia before puting the child in psyciatric care. It is the homophobes and gender barrier defenders that need therepy, not young homosexual or transgendered children. I personally have known many homosexual and transgendered youths whose parents used Mental Instituations as dumping grounds for children who they just didn't understand. These kids were sane untill they were forced into assylum. From Sexologist Havelock Ellis on, it is a known and proven fact that all of the psycological problems commonly associated with homosexuals are caused by other people's hatefull treatment of them and not by any congenital deffect of the homosexual mind. If you seek wisdom and truely love and care about the fate of children every where go else were for knowlege. All that is to be found here is inacurate, bigoted and dangerous rhetoric.
