In the same period, the number of referrals exploded and the profile of the patients changed: from largely pre-pubescent boys to mostly adolescent girls, who were often contending with other difficulties. Was there enough clinical evidence to justify such profound medical interventionsThis urgent, scrupulous and dramatic book explains how GIDS has been the site of a serious medical scandal, in which ideological concerns took priority over clinical practice. It is a disturbing and gripping parable for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666714034554,"sku":"9781800751132","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781800751132_48811343-fec7-4f8b-970a-348d04f89d1f.jpg?v=1728678349","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781800751132","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
