Abstract:
The diagnosis and treatment of 271 transgendered patients is described. Characteristics of the transgendered patients seen by the author between 1979 and 2001 reveal four distinct groups not specified in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) description, These characteristics are important because they determine the internal and external difficulties the patients present to the clinician. Statistics on age, gender, relationships, occupation, education, drug/alcohol abuse, secondary diagnoses and sexual orientation of each subgroup are presented and discussed.
