Stories of clinical care in transgender and nonbinary individuals with eating pathology: a scoping review.
Background: Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals are at an increased risk for developing eating disorders (EDs) and ED-related symptoms. Despite this heightened vulnerability, research on clinical interventions is limited. This scoping review aims to map the extent and type of existing evidence related to clinical care and interventions for TGNB individuals with eating pathologies, while also focusing on the process and course of treatment at the individual level.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PubMed/Web of Science/(EBSCO)PsycINFO was searched for studies on TGNB individuals with EDs/ED-related symptoms published until 27/06/2023. We included primary research studies with detailed information on treatment and clinical course (protocol: https://osf.io/crhga).
Results: Twenty-one articles encompassing 32 case reports were included. The results were organized into five timeframes: studies published before 2004 (k = 2); between 2004 and 2008 (k = 1); 2009-2013 (k = 0); 2014-2018 (k = 10); and 2019-2023 (k = 8). Interventions ranged from psychotherapy, gender-affirming hormones and surgery, nutritional counseling, to pharmacological treatments. Reported outcomes varied, with some studies showing improvements in body dissatisfaction and ED symptoms' reduction, while others highlighted clinical challenges such as frequent relapses and co-existing mental health conditions.
Conclusion: This scoping review highlights the heterogeneity of stories of clinical care in TGNB individuals with eating pathologies, warranting individualized treatment approaches. Early studies often pathologized gender identity and used non-affirming language, whereas more recent studies emphasize inclusive, gender-affirming approaches. This evolution reflects a growing recognition of the unique challenges faced by TGNB individuals who seek help for EDs. Future research should overcome barriers to accessing care.
期刊介绍:
Eating Disorders is contemporary and wide ranging, and takes a fundamentally practical, humanistic, compassionate view of clients and their presenting problems. You’ll find a multidisciplinary perspective on clinical issues and prevention research that considers the essential cultural, social, familial, and personal elements that not only foster eating-related problems, but also furnish clues that facilitate the most effective possible therapies and treatment approaches.
