Therapists working with gender-questioning teens often encounter disparate narratives. Teens typically report memories consistent with their transgender identity, often recounting specific childhood events. Many parents, however, have different recollections of their teen's childhood. As sound, ethical care is predicated on reality, therapists face the difficult task of navigating these often-contradictory narratives. We present relevant scientific literature on memory and well documented cognitive mechanisms and reflect on past therapeutic controversies to help clinicians understand the complexity of memory and why it may be prudent for therapists to consider not only their patients' accounts of their pasts, but also that of their patient's parents.

People with sexual attractions to children are often subject to heavy stigmatization, and several studies have started to look at how this affects their mental health. This is likely due to a conflation with offending and sexual risk within society, which translates into academic work on the topic. In this context, little is known about how the experiences of non-offending individuals with attractions to children inform their treatment needs in non-forensic contexts. We conducted anonymous semi-structured interviews with large sample of 31 non-offending adult men who are attracted to children, recruited through online forums. The results focus on two superordinate themes central to interpersonal and intrapersonal experiences, and the effects of these on both everyday functioning ("Living with a sexual interest in children"), and perceived treatment needs ("Establishing treatment targets"). These findings hold significance for the effective design and delivery of both preventative and healthcare-related support services, particularly in relation to early intervention and assisting this population in living full lives with their sexual attractions.

Circumcision anesthesia, aimed at mitigating pain and distress during the procedure, has evolved, reflecting advancements in medical science and societal attitudes toward pain management. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of circumcision anesthesia research, from historical origins to contemporary trends. The Web of Science collection database was used to search for all articles on circumcision anesthesia between 1980 and 2024. All fields were searched using "circumcision anesthesia" or "circumcision anaesthesia" as keywords. Countries, authors, journals, institutions, citation frequency, and journal metrics were extracted. The results were analyzed bibliometrically using the VOSviewer program. A total of 683 relevant publications between 1980 and 2024 were analyzed. The results showed that the USA had the highest number of publications, followed by Turkey. Original articles were the most common publication type, and the main research topics included pain management strategies, anesthesia techniques, and clinical outcomes. The article by Taddio et al. was the most cited article, with 738 citations, while "circumcision" and "pain" were the most common keywords used. Despite cultural and regional differences, this study highlights the growing acceptance of circumcision anesthesia as a vital aspect of medical practice and offers insights to guide future research efforts and clinical interventions. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of circumcision anesthesia in enhancing patient comfort and well-being during this standard surgical procedure.

Various studies show that transgender people may experience diverse challenges to attaining sexual well-being. Receiving gender-affirming medical care (GAMC) may influence one's sexual experiences, but there is little insight into the way sexuality is addressed in GAMC. We conducted a qualitative focus group study among transgender individuals on their experiences and needs related to the way sexuality is addressed in the GAMC context. We included 28 participants (aged 21-60) who were assigned to six groups based on their GAMC trajectories and treatment goals. Each group convened twice for two hours (12 focus groups in total). We analyzed the data using reflexive thematic analysis and identified three main themes. Regarding sexuality in GAMC, participants articulated the need for 1) personalized and balanced information, 2) insight into the experiences of others, and 3) the opportunity for support and guidance concerning sexuality by a healthcare provider. This study highlights the necessity to improve information provision and guidance to promote sexual well-being of people receiving GAMC. Such information ought to transcend cis- and heteronormative sexual assumptions and needs to be tailored to an individual's experiences. Finally, GAMC organizations and their healthcare providers should foster an environment where questions and concerns related to sexuality can be discussed.

Not all women experiencing pelvic floor complaints and sexual function problems seek help in pelvic physical therapy practice. Decisions to seek help can result from explicit and implicit cognitive processes. Having found some explicit predictive factors for receiving help in this setting, this study examines possible complementary implicit associations between sexual function problems and pursuing help that might also be predictive. The Pursuing Help for Sexual Problems Implicit Association Test (PHSP-IAT) was specially developed for this purpose. The instrument's reliability and validity were evaluated. High reliability was found (Spearman's Rho = .95). Convergent and divergent validity analyses resulted in low and non-significant correlations between the PHSP-IAT and the chosen self-report measures. The PHSP-IAT was predictive for receiving help in pelvic physical therapy practice. Further research is necessary to determine the PHSP-IAT's validity and its predictive value in other healthcare settings.

With growing interest in developing digital health tools for treating sexual dysfunction, this pilot study aimed to determine feasibility and gather preliminary efficacy data of a self-led online mindfulness intervention in comparison to an online psychoeducational intervention for women's low sexual desire in a community sample (N = 57). After a four-week intervention, participants showed overall improvements on sexual functioning, orgasm, sexual self-pleasure, sexual self-image, and sexual distress, in both treatment arms. Majority completed assigned homework and felt the intervention enhanced their sexual well-being. This study supports the feasibility of a self-led online mindfulness intervention that could help inform future programs.
