"Dr. Julie Hamilton has created a bedrock video on the difficult subject of counseling Gender Dysphoric children and teenagers. This video production interlaces conversations with actual patients who experienced gender dysphoria and subsequently worked through their undercurrent issues successfully. Over the top of these stories are the commentaries of two giants in the field of gender dysphoria, Dr. Susan Bradley and Dr. Kenneth Zucker. Step by step, Julie puts together a logical approach on how each piece of the puzzle fits together to lead the gender dysphoric patient down the wrong path to transition interventions. The tone is sympathetic and never harsh. There can be no criticism that her approach is harmful and mean-spirited. I will be sure that every one of my patients with gender dysphoria and their family members is led to this film as a prime resource for survival and healing."

"Dr. Julie Hamilton’s 'Counseling Gender Dysphoric Children and Teenagers' is the finest instructional video I have yet seen on the topic! Dr. Hamilton, past president of Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity, brings her decades of counseling experience to this profoundly timely, important, and challenging topic. Julie boldly goes straight to two of the leading figures in the field, psychologist Ken Zucker and psychiatrist Susan Bradley, for their insights. This project communicates clear principles, compelling personal testimonies, and a remarkably practical and active psychotherapeutic approach to the problem. It is all so exceptionally well done!
​
Christian clients and families will appreciate the closing section on a Biblical world view,
'Counseling Gender Dysphoric Children and Teenagers' has my deep gratitude and strongest endorsement."

“Dr. Hamilton has produced an incredibly helpful film that both educates and provides sound guidance for counselors and others who are encountering gender dysphoric youth in their professional and ministerial settings. I am particularly grateful that the clinical wisdom of Drs. Bradley and Zucker on these matters has been captured so clearly for the historical record and will be available long after the current push to fast-track minors into social and medical transitioning is exposed as exceedingly poor science.”

"This video provides a refreshing perspective from two science-led practitioners whose decades of experience challenge the notion that boys should be encouraged to become girls, and girls be encouraged to become boys. The IFTCC appreciates Hamilton’s initiative and the valuable insights offered by Dr. Zucker and Dr. Bradley, as well as the shared experiences of individuals who have left behind trans identities and practices."
