Some academics, but mostly practicing social workers, advocates, and lawyers explore challenges, approaches, and other aspects of working with a population that, however diverse internally, shares a disconnect with conventional gender beliefs and practices. Their topics include ethical issues in the mental health treatment of trans adolescents, internal and external stress factors associated with the identity development of transgender and gender variant youth, female-to-male transgender and gender variant youth, group work practice, families, legal advocacy, and a call for organizational trans-formation. The first edition was published as Social Services with Transgendered Youth in 2000 by The Haworth Press. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
