This study reports the analysis of a transvestite man through focusing on his marital interaction and his wife's complementary behavior to his perversion. In his marriage, this patient dramatically recapitulated many of his infantile core conflicts, fixations, and traumas associated with his cross-dressing. These were: (1) the marital crisis which brought him into analysis and its associations with his split gender identifications; (2) his wife's ability to force him into cross-dressing on cue; (3) the extent to which his cross-dressing was dependent on the degree of psychic separateness he felt from his wife; and (4) his and his wife's complementary transvestite fantasies. Both this man and his wife's attempted to use their marriage as a cure for resolving their complementary transvestite problem. The extent to which they were able to accomplish this before the husband's "breakdown" (brought about by the wife's affair) was examined. The nature of his transvestite transference--what was termed his "John Wayne transference"--provided him with the ideal vehicle for the transferential working-through of the many aspects of his transvestite pathology. The continuance of a strong positive and unanalyzed transference after the formal end of the analysis was commented upon.
本研究报告了对一名异装癖男性的分析，重点关注他的婚姻互动以及他妻子对其性变态行为的互补行为。在他的婚姻中，这位患者戏剧性地重现了许多与他的异装癖相关的婴儿期核心冲突、固着和创伤。这些包括：（1）导致他前来接受分析的婚姻危机及其与他分裂的性别认同的关联；（2）他妻子能够在暗示下迫使他异装；（3）他的异装癖在多大程度上取决于他与妻子心理上的分离程度；（4）他和他妻子互补的异装癖幻想。这个男人和他的妻子都试图利用他们的婚姻来解决他们互补的异装癖问题。研究了在丈夫“崩溃”（由妻子的婚外情导致）之前，他们在多大程度上能够做到这一点。他的异装癖移情的本质——即所谓的“约翰·韦恩移情”——为他通过移情来处理异装癖病理的诸多方面提供了理想的载体。有人评论了分析正式结束后强烈的积极且未经分析的移情的持续情况。
