A Case Study of Cross-Dressing

Abstract

There are two goals for presenting this article. The first goal is to consider socialized gender roles, clinical treatment, and strategic marriage therapy and to present a case study detailing the progression of counseling with a cross-dressing client with the spouse. The second goal is to prepare counselor educators, counselors, and counseling supervisors by encouraging consideration for the cross-dressing client and encouraging discussions around gender identity and gender expression and to improve the therapeutic practices with nontraditional gender identities and nontraditional gender expressions.
