Abstract:
Connections between transsexualism and delinquency have been considered in only a few publications to date. The authors report on a forensic psychiatric case with a transsexual development after committing an offence based on sexual deviations. Transsexualism in this context seems to represent an attempt for the symbolic solution of a conflict of identity. This should be interpreted in the context of psychotherapy and not be misunderstood as a symptom proving the diagnosis of manifest transsexualism by orientation on pure phenomenological criteria.
