Long anticipated... now done! My book “Transition and Beyond: Observations on Gender Identity” will be shipping beginning December 1! Ordering directly from the publisher means I receive the maximum amount of royalty for my work. If you order now, I will sign the book before it is shipped to you:

I asked a few people to read my book prior to publication, and here’s what they had to say:
“An ideal essential resource for therapists new to working with transgendered and transsexual clients, and a breath of fresh air for those already so engaged. A great source of insight to the therapeutic process for trans people and their partners, families, and friends. The chapters on addiction and recovery, fundamentalist religions and reparative therapy, and partners’ issues are particularly enlightening, helpful, and soundly reasoned. Most highly recommended!”
– JAMISON GREEN, author of "Becoming a Visible Man" (Vanderbilt University Press, 2004)
“Paradox has been hailed and feared as both a mark of genius and a symptom of madness. Before this book there has been no therapeutic approach that has taken into account my family, people who live the sex and gender paradox of not-man, not-woman. Finally, a loving and caring program of therapy for the increasing number of neither/nor people in the world. Hurrah!”
– KATE BORNSTEIN, author of “Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws” (Seven Stories Press, 2006)
“Informed by his own personal journey, Reid Vanderburgh has written an insightful and comprehensive book, outlining issues not previously addressed in the literature, most notably post-transition concerns. Family issues, including the complex identity struggles of young gender-variant people, are addressed, as are intimate couple relationships, recovery from addictions, and employment challenges. Crossing over, from client to therapist, from a medical model to a psychospiritual one, Vanderburgh respectfully outlines the process of transition, not just for transgender clients, but for the therapists who serve them.”
- ARLENE ISTAR LEV, LCSW, CASAC, author of “Transgender Emergence” (Haworth Press, 2004)
