Integrating evidence into multidisciplinary assessment and formulation for young people with gender dysphoria

Integrating evidence into multidisciplinary assessment and formulation for young people with gender dysphoria

Rather than prioritizing a single theoretical perspective or treatment pathway when assessing young people with gender dysphoria, a multidisciplinary formulation that integrates developmental, psychological, medical, and social evidence offers the most transparent and clinically robust framework.

The talk begins with the observation that young people presenting with gender dysphoria or gender incongruence often have complex developmental, psychological, and social needs, while clinicians work in a rapidly changing and contested field with a limited evidence base and competing explanatory frameworks. The roles of diagnosis, prognosis, and psychological formulation in multidisciplinary assessment are considered separately. The value of working with multiple hypotheses is emphasized, as is the importance of tolerating uncertainty while balancing respect for the young person’s lived experience with developmentally informed clinical inquiry. Particular attention is given to the clinical tensions that arise in this work and to the need for multidisciplinary teams to integrate developmental, psychological, medical, and social evidence into assessment and formulation, rather than prioritizing a single theoretical perspective or treatment pathway. In line with the findings of the Cass Review, the talk argues that multidisciplinary assessment and formulation offer the most transparent and clinically robust framework for bringing these different sources of evidence together. This approach is described as supporting clinicians in thinking together and tolerating complexity, while enabling them to develop individualized and measured formulations that respond to each young person’s needs.
