The author examines the genetic and the psychodynamic points of view of transexualism and transvestitism, on the basis of literature and of his clinical experience. While the genesis of the syndromes still remain obscure, in spite of new psychodynamic hypothesis, it is now possible to understand the inner world of the parents better than ever before. The author is able to show by means of his own cases that on the basis of the syndrome is a personality development which is centered in the struggle of self-identity and which does not correspond to our definitions of neurosis or of psychopathy but, rather can assume, at least in some patients, very realistic traits of solving an objective problem of sexual identity.
作者基于文献和自身临床经验，审视了易性癖和异装癖的遗传学及心理动力学观点。尽管有了新的心理动力学假设，但这些综合征的成因仍不明朗，不过现在比以往任何时候都更能理解父母的内心世界。作者通过自己的病例表明，基于该综合征的人格发展以自我认同的挣扎为核心，它不符合我们对神经症或精神变态的定义，而是至少在一些患者身上，可能呈现出解决性身份客观问题的非常现实的特质。
