Abstract
This introduction to the special section of this issue of the International Journal of Group Psychotherapy provides context for the articles that follow. I discuss how recent events (both within and outside of the American Group Psychotherapy Association) highlight the need for an ongoing discussion about how group psychotherapists have a duty to provide ethical and affirming care of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. I then provide a brief overview of some foundational terms and constructs related to gender identity and briefly review the existing literature before previewing the two articles in the special section that focus on ethical issues in group psychotherapy with TGNC individuals (Darby, this issue, 2020) and in providing affirming group psychotherapy (Chen et al., this issue, 2020). I conclude with recommendations for readers to gain additional knowledge, awareness, and skills related to gender identity and to working with TGNC clients in group psychotherapy.
摘要：本期《国际群体心理治疗杂志》特别部分的介绍为后续文章提供了背景。我讨论了最近发生的事件（美国团体心理治疗协会内外）如何突出了持续讨论的必要性，即团体心理治疗师如何有义务为变性人和性别不合规者（TGNC）提供道德和肯定的护理。然后，我简要概述了与性别认同相关的一些基本术语和结构，并简要回顾了现有文献，然后预览了特别部分中的两篇文章，这两篇文章侧重于TGNC个体群体心理治疗中的伦理问题（Darby，本期，2020）和提供肯定性群体心理治疗（Chen et al.，本期（2020））。最后，我建议读者获得更多与性别认同相关的知识、意识和技能，并在团体心理治疗中与TGNC客户合作。
