Professional Testimonials
Gender-diverse and transgender adolescents face disproportionately high suicide risk. Regrettably, medical and mental health professionals have had virtually no comprehensive texts dedicated to the lifesaving care of one of our most vulnerable populations.
Until now.
Dr. Diana Sorrentino, one of the world's most experienced and leading experts in the field of gender-affirming care, has been researching transgender health issues since her own evolution as a transgender woman in the 1980s. Dr. Sorrentino's pioneering thirst for knowledge and commitment to transgender healthcare were revolutionary at a time when only a handful of specialized, gender-affirming clinics existed in the United States. Since that time, Dr. Sorrentino's passion has grown from consulting with individual families and providers and offering training to distributing validated, evidence-based information throughout the world. Her podcast series on this topic has subscribers in ninety countries.
Adolescent Gender-Affirming Medical and Behavioral Healthcare celebrates the culmination of forty years of research, experience, and consultation. It is an essential text for every medical and behavioral healthcare professional.
--Allison Otto, PsyD
I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Sorrentino for the better part of thirty years. The breadth and depth of her knowledge and experience, specifically as it relates to the neurobiology, physiology, genetics, hormonal, and developmental aspects of gender identities during fetal development, have proven to be the most comprehensive I have professionally experienced. My work with patients within this community has been enhanced because of her contributions and her willingness to share her knowledge.
--Jonathan Meyers, MD
In my conversations with Dr. Diana Sorrentino, I came to deeply appreciate not only her extraordinary depth of knowledge but the clarity, care, and integrity with which she shares it. Grounded in extensive education, years of clinical experience, and a deep command of current research, she offers clear, practical, and evidence-based guidance on adolescent gender-affirming medical and behavioral healthcare. Drawing from both her professional expertise and her lived experience as an affirmed woman, Dr. Sorrentino brings deep respect for the experiences of young people and their families. She provides meaningful tools that empower families and professionals with clarity and confidence. This book is an essential resource--and a voice you can trust.
