Holding Space for Real Distress

Questions about gender carry strong emotion in families, in the culture, and in the therapy room. How can a Catholic clinician accompany a person well? Julia Sadusky, PsyD, LP, applies the integrity, disability, and diversity lenses to gender and shows how to draw on the best of each while staying rooted in a Catholic view of body and soul. She defines key terms, notes that no single cause has been established, and separates political, public, and private identity. You'll learn a client-centered approach that assesses gender dysphoria, treats co-occurring concerns first, builds adaptive coping and family support, and offers families accurate information about medical interventions.
