Description
Signs of cross-gender identification have been observed in children as young as three years of age, and trans-sexualism has been diagnosed, at the opposite extreme, in eventually reasigned individuals, whose first clinical evaluation came in their 60s. Gender dysphoria occurs in females as well as males, and gender identity disorders - although probably not the same ones - occur in heterosexuals and in homosexuals. This book acquaints the reader with the various syndromes of gender identity disturbance in males and females, the different types of social circumstances in which patients find themselves and the range of possible treatment options.
