- More about Queer Theory and Psychology: Gender, Sexuality, and Transgender Identities
The book "Queer and Trans Theory and Psychological Science" explores how queer and trans theory is supported by psychological science, highlighting the instability of gender, variation in sexualities, intersectional theory, and the rejection of the "born in the wrong body" narrative. It explains the history and politics of key ideas shaping the study of gender and sexuality and how the queer and trans* revolutions have changed how psychologists understand gender, sexuality, and transgender identities.

This comprehensive and timely volume delves into the intricate connections between queer and trans theory and recent findings from psychological science. Written by Ella Ben Hagai and Eileen Zurbriggen, the book explores foundational concepts from queer thought and transgender theory, such as the fluidity of gender, the diversity of sexualities, intersectionality, and the rejection of the "born in the wrong body" narrative. These key ideas are juxtaposed with cutting-edge empirical research on the nature of gender, the proliferation of sexual identities, and the provision of transgender-affirming medical and psychological care.
The book serves as a comprehensive exploration of the history and politics that have shaped the study of gender and sexuality in contemporary psychology. It also sheds light on the profound ways in which the queer and trans* revolutions have transformed the understanding of gender, sexuality, and transgender identities among psychologists. This work will be of immense value to readers with an interest in interdisciplinary scholarship, as it provides a rich and nuanced perspective on these critical topics.
In conclusion, this book offers a valuable contribution to the field of psychology by bridging the gap between theory and empirical research, and by illuminating the ways in which queer and trans* identities are shaped by social, cultural, and psychological factors. It is a must-read for scholars, researchers, and practitioners alike who are committed to advancing our understanding of gender and sexuality in a rapidly changing world.
