The transvestite is a heterosexual fetishistic cross-dresser. The phenomenology of the disorder reveals individuals to be heterosexual males who have usually married and fathered children. The course of the disorder is unknown. Many transvestites note genital arousal from cross-dressing abates, yet continue episodically to wear women's clothes. A small segment of these individuals become gender dysphoric and seek sexual reassignment. Etiologic explanations include pregenital psychopathology in the genesis of the condition. The treatment for transvestism remains disappointing although behavior modification may offer individuals who wish to change their transvestitic behavior some hope. This review suggests new areas for inquiry and possible research strategies.
异装癖者是具有异性恋恋物癖的异装者。该障碍的现象学显示，患者为通常已结婚生子的异性恋男性。该障碍的病程尚不清楚。许多异装癖者指出，因异装引起的生殖器兴奋会减轻，但仍会偶尔继续穿女装。这些人中一小部分会出现性别焦虑并寻求性别重置。病因学解释包括该病症发生过程中的生殖器前心理病理学。尽管行为矫正可能会给希望改变异装行为的人带来一些希望，但对异装癖的治疗仍然令人失望。本综述提出了新的研究领域和可能的研究策略。
