Time to Think
The Inside Story of the Collapse of the Tavistock's Gender Service for Children
Book • 2023
Time to Think is a meticulously researched book that chronicles the history and eventual collapse of the GIDS at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
The book is based on over 100 hours of interviews with nearly 60 former clinicians and traces the service's evolution, the use of puberty blockers, and the influence of various charities and support groups.
It highlights several critical reports and concerns raised by clinicians and provides a somber and non-judgmental account of the medical and organizational issues that led to the service's closure.
The book has been praised for its rigorous journalism and balanced approach, despite being a controversial topic.
