TransgenderSoul Transitions
23/02/10 13:00
After almost 10 years publishing my website (www.transgenderSoul.com), I am transitioning my website to a fresh design using Rapid Weaver and re-investing my energy into providing a content rich website for transgender people, allies, and professionals seeking information about the psychology of transgender issues.
I am a psychologist not a website designer, so please bear with me as I switch over from old tired Windows FrontPage on my ancient PC Dell computer to fresh flexible Rapid Weaver on my iMac! I also moved my hosting service from a Windows platform to UNIX. The website is under construction so pardon my dust and the occasional missing link, link to nowhere, and random “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” dummy text.
I received my clinical psychology training from two universities, Ohio State University and Wright State University, with two different models for training clinical psychologists, the scientist-practicioner model and the practicioner-scholar model. I was trained to practice with patients using scientifically valid assessment and psychotherapy methods, tools, and techniques, to inform my patients of scientifically-based findings and approaches to their problems, to regularly stay up to date on recent research findings in the field and to evaluate the validity of clinical research as it applies to the practice of clinical psychology. Accessing and integrating scientific findings to inform healthcare decisions is an important tenet of practice that I will bring to the TransgenderSoul Blog
I will continue to focus on the psychology and mental health issues of people who identify as transgender, transsexual, and experience an incongruence between their physical birth sex and their gender identity, gender expression, and gender roles. I also have some ideas for new content that I hope will be valuable to the trans-community, including:
Look for a new blog entry every Monday.
Until next time, be well, and thank you for visiting TransgenderSoul,

I also have some ideas for new content that I hope will be valuable to the trans-community, including:
- educational resources for help along the journey to wholeness
- links to the best trans writing on the web
- reviews of scholarly articles and research, including those published by WPATH in the International Journal of Trangenderism
- news and developments within WPATH, especially those dealing with the Standards of Care
- new pages on workplace issues, including anti-discrimination law and gender transition in the workplace
- of course, listings of trans-affirming service providers in my hometown of Denver Colorado
- and a blog of commentary, opinion, and reporting on issues and events important to the trans community
Look for a new blog entry every Monday.
