“Dr. Lisa Bellot offers a courageous and deeply personal account of her journey as both a psychiatrist and a mother navigating her daughter’s struggle with gender identity. This is a story of hope and love—a memoir that makes an essential contribution to the ongoing discourse on gender and mental health.”
—Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and author“In She/Him/Us, psychiatrist Lisa Bellot shares an unflinching account of parenting a trans-identified teen while her instincts whispered, ‘something is not right here.’ Told with honesty and grace, this memoir blends personal experience with medical and psychological information parents desperately need but rarely receive. In Bellot's writing, she questions, reflects, and ultimately chooses to engage more consciously and confidently with her daughter. This book is a powerful and necessary read for anyone trying to make sense of today’s precarious youth gender landscape.”
