Gender identity problems of children and adolescents: the establishment of a special clinic

S J Bradley et al. Can Psychiatr Assoc J. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

Theoretical accounts of the origins of gender identity disturbance are reviewed and then followed by a description of the establishment of a child and adolescent gender identity clinic. Clinical impressions of 16 gender disturbed patients are presented and the position is taken that most patients manifested a confused, as opposed to fixed, core gender identity.
