Etherapy: Ethical and Clinical Considerations for Version 7 of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care
My article on etherapy with transgender clients has just been published in the International Journal of Transgenderism
Here is the abstract:
ABSTRACT. This invited article provides background and exploratory material for the potential in- clusion of etherapy in Version 7 of the Standards of Care (SOC). A brief overview of the literature, its applicability and extrapolation to transgender clients, the rationale for etherapy, and clinical and ethi- cal considerations, both general and specific to transpeople, are described. Included in the discussion is an online psychotherapy case and commentary involving a Saudi-based American male-to-female transperson and a San Francisco therapist. The article concludes with specific content for a recommen- dation for the inclusion of etherapy (but not online evaluation and referral) in the next revision of the SOC.
