Neither consensus on best practice nor validated neuropsychological, intelligence, or personality testing batteries exist for assessment and psychological testing on the transgender population. Historically, assessment has been used in a gate-keeping fashion with transgender clients. There are no firm standards of care when considering the content and appropriateness of evaluations conducted presurgically. These evaluations are discussed in the setting of other presurgical evaluations, with a recommendation to move toward a competency to make a medical decisions model. Additional considerations are discussed, such as effects of transition on mood and how to interpret scores in a field where normative data are often gender stratified.
对于跨性别群体的评估和心理测试,目前尚无关于最佳实践的共识,也没有经过验证的神经心理学、智力或人格测试组合。从历史上看,评估一直被用于对跨性别客户进行把关。在考虑术前评估的内容和适宜性时,没有确定的护理标准。这些评估是在其他术前评估的背景下进行讨论的,并建议朝着具备做出医疗决策模型的能力发展。还讨论了其他一些考虑因素,例如转变对情绪的影响,以及在一个常按性别分层提供规范数据的领域中如何解读分数。
