WPATH 2016 - Dr. Polly Carmichael: The Tavistock GIDS Experience
At the 2016 WPATH Symposium in Amsterdam, Dr Polly Carmichael - the head of the GIDS clinic at the Tavistock in the UK gave a presentation which reviewed the referral patterns, social context and outcomes of the early intervention program at the clinic, treating children with gender dysphoria.
This presentation was cited in the recent book "Time to Think" by Hannag Barnes which describes the evolution and eventual dissolution of the clinic in the UK.
She describes the service and makes some surprising admission including:
- The departure of the clinic from the selection and exclusion criteria of treatment guidelines based on the Dutch Protocol.
- The preliminary results of kids treated with puberty blockers which show no improvement on the various assessments given prior and after treatment.
- The implications of the almost 100% of patients that went on to further hormones and surgery after puberty blocker therapy - that it means the concept of blockers as a diagnostic tool or "time to think" are not accurate.
