Abstract
This study uses the Delphi technique to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills
needed for a counselor to be competent to work with transgendered {TG) clients. To
date, there are few courses to teach prospective counselors the things they need to know
in order to work effectively with TG clients, and there is no method to evaluate if a
counselor is ready to work with TG individuals. This study is the first step in empirically
defining counselor competency with TG clients through the use of the Delphi method,
modified slightly to include responses from both professionals (in the area of TG work)
and TG clients themselves.
