= 20) were recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial comparing two psychotherapy interventions for transgender adults seeking psychotherapy for a variety of concerns: (a) transgender affirmative psychotherapy (TA) and (b) Building Awareness of Minority Stressors + Transgender Affirmative psychotherapy. Gender-related stress and resilience were assessed before, immediately after, and 6 months following the intervention; psychological distress and working alliance were assessed at these three time points as well as weekly during the intervention. Feasibility and acceptability of the study and psychotherapy interventions were supported. Exploratory analyses indicate improvement in both groups based on general outcome measures; targeted outcome measures indicate a trend of improvement for internalized stigma and nonaffirmation experiences. Results from this study support further evaluation of both treatment arms in a larger randomized controlled trial. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
