title: Group therapy for gender-dysphoric heterosexual men.
abstract: The treatment and clinical management of gender dysphoric heterosexual men often poses a challenge to the clinician. Gender dysphoric patients pursuing various lifestyle options may seek psychotherapy to deal with some of their conflicts. This paper describes one form of counseling--group therapy--which has been helpful to gender dysphoric heterosexual men and outlines the group psychotherapy program at the Gender Clinic of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry.
