Abstract

The psychodynamics and sociodynamics of gender-dysphoric states are examined. The hypotheses (including pathology in the mother-child relationship; defective object relations; aggression and sexuality, etc.) are based on a four-year clinical investigation of over 125 patients who requested sexual surgery. Transsexualism is seen as both a psychological and social phenomena.
