[b]APA Task Force Reviews Possible Gender Identity Disorder
Treatment Guidelines[/b]

The board asked the task force to review the literature on the
treatment of Gender Identity
Disorder at different ages and to report back with "an
opinion as to whether or not there is
sufficient credible literature to take the next step and develop
treatment recommendations."
The board asked the task force to communicate with the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM) work group on Gender Identity Disorder,
which can serve as a resource
on diagnostic issues during the term of the task force.

After the May 2008 announcement of DSM-V work group membership,
the APA received many
inquiries regarding the Gender Identity Disorders work group on
treatment. These inquiries most
often dealt with treatment controversies for GID in children,
rather than issues related specifically
to the DSM text and diagnostic criteria. While the diagnosis and
treatment of mental disorders are
inextricably linked, separation of the diagnostic mission of the
DSM work groups from the
evaluation of treatment issues is especially important.

Gender Identity Disorders Task Force on Treatment members have
been identified and appointed
by APA President Nada L. Stotland, M.D., M.P.H. They include APA
members William M.
Byne, M.D., Ph.D.; A. Evan Eyler, M.D., M.P.H.; Edgardo Jorge
Menvielle, M.D., M.S.H.S.;
Richard Randall Pleak, M.D.; and David A. Tompkins, M.D. Advisors
include Susan Bradley,
M.D.; Eli Coleman, Ph.D.; Richard Green, M.D., J.D., and Heino F.
