Understanding Gender Dysphoria by Mark A. Yarhouse

Understanding Gender Dysphoria is the book we need to navigate these stormy cultural waters.Ĭhristian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support the well-being of their clients. In the midst of a tense political climate, Yarhouse calls Christians to come alongside those on the margins and stand with them as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person. In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse offers a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates the psychological and theological complexity. Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, challenges the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories. And while the war rages over language, institutions and political allegiances, transgender individuals are the ones who end up being the casualties. In the fog of the culture war, complex issues like gender dysphoria are reduced to slogans and sound bites.
