Gender identity disorders and psychosexual problems 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 important phenomenology, medical, biological, psychosocial etiology, clinical formulation, treatment, and long-term observation. The section dedicated to adolescents (chapters 11-13) provides information on gender identity disorders, transvestic 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 the subject, which has become particularly rich over the past three decades. This monograph is invaluable for child psychiatrists and psychologists, sexologists, pediatricians, social workers, researchers, and students.
