Come ask the questions you've always wanted answered, but weren't sure it was okay to ask. Space is limited, so come early. CE class for therapists/psychologists 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 pm - July 9, 2010 Portland State University, location TBD This class is titled "Gender Transitions: The Therapist's Role and Responsibilities." I'm going to focus on how a therapist can be most helpful to a client who is considering or undergoing transition. Topics will include: The current Standards of Care, with some history and discussion about their application; what kinds of models are most appropriate in case conceptualization; how to apply various modalities to the transition process (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, narrative, psychodynamic, etc.); the "nuts and bolts" of transition, such as facilitating name changes, DMV gender changes, etc. For more information, visit the PSU Continuing Education website. (Note: this class may not yet be listed on the CE website, as it is not offered until next summer.)
