Kenneth J. Zucker (born 1950) is an American-Canadian psychologist and sexologist. He is Psychologist-in-Chief and Head of the Gender Identity Service in the Child, Youth, and Family Program at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.camh.ca/en/research/about_research_at_CAMH/scientific_staff_profile/Pages/Kenneth-Zucker.aspx )〕 Based on his collaboration with Susan Bradley, with whom he collected clinical and research data over a period of twenty years, Zucker became an international authority in the field of gender identity disorder in children (GIDC) and adolescents. He is a controversial figure in the transgender community, leading to an internal review of his clinical practices in 2015.〔 Zucker is also a professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Toronto. He was named editor-in-chief of ''Archives of Sexual Behavior'' in 2001. In 2007, Zucker was chosen to be a member of the American Psychological Association Task Force on Gender Identity, Gender Variance, and Intersex Conditions, and in 2008 he was named chair of the American Psychiatric Association workgroup on "Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders" for the 2012 edition of the DSM-5. He previously served on workgroups for the DSM-IV and the DSM-IV-TR. ==Life== Zucker was born in 1950 to Jewish parents, and grew up in Skokie, Illinois. Zucker received his B.A. from Southern Illinois University, his M.A. from Roosevelt University, and his Ph.D. from University of Toronto in 1982. He holds a certification from College of Psychologists of Ontario. Zucker became interested in gender identity after reading Richard Green's 1974 book ''Sexual Identity Conflict in Children and Adults''.〔 Zucker's graduate work in developmental psychology resulted in his master's thesis on normative gender identity development in children. While in graduate school, Zucker met his future collaborator Susan J. Bradley, a child psychiatrist on staff at the Child and Adolescent Service of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry (now the Child and Family Studies Centre of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health), a public mental health centre and teaching hospital of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine. Zucker was impressed with the Clarke Institute and met with then chief of psychology, Kingsley Ferguson, who told Zucker of Bradley's new working group assessing children and adolescents with gender identity problems. He joined Bradley's group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Zucker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
