Abstract:
The main character of the disorders of self identification of the sex during the growing ages, is the discrepancy between the sex stated at the birth and the sex self identity of the child. These disorders have in fact a continuity with the transsexualism of the adult. From 1983 15 subjects (11 M, 4 F) aged between 11 and 14 years had been controlled in our Institution for a psychodiagnostic evaluation. All the patients demonstrated psychopathological disorders of different grade: disorders of emotion, familiar or social misfit. The aim of the treatment, when the diagnosis is made early, is to restore both the self role of the sex and the intrinsic sex identity. When the diagnosis is late, the treatment is performed exclusively on the role of the sex. In some cases the treatment is carried out on the parents too. The best results are achieved as early as both the diagnosis and the treatment are made and when the familiar dynamics are mild. However the final results of the treatment can be verified only in the adult, by controlling both the stability of sex identity and the sexual role.
