Gender Identity Disorders in Children and Adolescents

The monograph "Gender Identity Disorders and Psychosexual Problems in Children and Adolescents" introduces the reader to a comprehensive analysis of clinical and research literature dedicated to children and adolescents with gender identity disorders and other psychosexual problems.
The section dedicated to children (chapters 2-10) offers a detailed analysis of gender identity disorders in both girls and boys, including crucial phenomenology, medical, biological, psychosocial etiology, clinical formulation, treatment, and long-term monitoring.
The section dedicated to adolescents (chapters 11-13) provides information on gender identity disorders, transvestite fetishism, and homosexuality. Both sections include numerous materials from the authors' own medical practice and attempt to integrate all these cases with theoretical developments known from the extensive literature on this subject, which has become particularly rich over the last three decades.
This monograph is invaluable for child psychiatrists and psychologists, sexologists, pediatricians, social workers, scholars, and students.
