Analytical Reading of Gender Identity Disorder: From the Medical Scientific Perspective to the Psycho-Dynamic Interpretation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The discussion of gender identity has become crucial due to the social and psychological transformations occurring globally. However, this topic faces significant challenges in research and debate due to its sensitive nature, often being considered taboo. Thus, it is essential to explore the nature of gender identity, define the related terms, and understand how disruptions occur within it, from the medical scientific interpretation to the psychological explanation. To understand and interpret these disorders, this paper will discuss the development of gender identity starting from the moment of fertilization, continuing through the stages of psychosexual development, and how disruptions in this process can lead to disturbances in gender identity. The paper will also consider how these disturbances are classified in the global diagnostic statistical classifications of mental disorders.
