Hi Mikaela,

I read these two articles that examine the alliance and effective clinical practice.

Collazo, A., Austin, A., & Craig, S. L. (2013). Facilitating transition among transgender clients: Components of effective clinical practice. Clinical Social Work Journal, 41(3), 228-237.

Bess, J., & Stabb, S. (2009). The experiences of transgendered persons in psychotherapy: Voices and recommendations. Journal of Mental Health Counseling, 31(3), 264-282.

There are a few UK specific studies at http://gires.org.uk/medpros.php and some other country specific studies.

A substantial part of the dynamics can possibly be predicted on the basis of various factors. Do you intend to look at this aspect?

Hi Mikaela,
