Publisher's Synopsis
An Inner Roadmap of Gender Transformation is a soul-searching and thought-provoking exploration of the inner and outer struggles faced by many transsexuals as seen through the lens of the author's personal and professional experience. Dr. Etscovitz's observations and insights provide emotional depth and unflinching honesty about the obstacles that many individuals face on their path to greater gender wholeness. Her words give hope to those who feel lost and trapped in the dilemmas that accompany gender identity conflicts. The "Inner Roadmap," which she has developed from an experiential perspective, is also applicable to the challenges faced by the Lesbian and Gay community and serves as the basis for therapeutic guidance as well as for organizing the material in the book as a whole. She also addresses the psychosocial context in which children are raised and which, when toxic, only adds to the challenge of resolving gender issues on the way to gender transformation.
