BOOK: Transgender Emergence: Therapeutic Guidelines for Working With
Gender-Variant People and Their Families 
by Arlene Istar Lev 
Released: 01 April, 2004 
ISBN: 078902117X (Paperback) 
        The book examines: the six stages of transgender emergence; coming out
as transsexual or transgender as a normative process of gender identity
development; thinking "outside the box" in the deconstruction of sex and
gender; the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity, as well
as the convergence, overlap, and integration of these parts of the self; the
power of personal narrative in gender identity development; etiology and
typographies of transgenderism and transsexuality; treatment models that emerge
from various clinical perspectives; alternative treatment modalities based on
gender variance as a normative lifecycle developmental process. 

        Complete with fascinating case studies, a critique of diagnostic
processes, treatment recommendations, and a helpful glossary of relevant terms,
this book is an essential reference for anyone who works with gender-variant
people. Handy tables and figures make the information easier to access and
understand.
