“…Among women, femininity scores on the BSRI tended to increase with the degree of psychiatric impairment (LaTorre et al 1976). LaTorre and Piper (1979) found lessened masculinity scores on the BSRI for long-term hospitalized males but not females and lessened femininity scores for newly admitted females but not males. Further, while recently admitted patients demonstrated adequate gender-related knowledge, long-term schizophrenia patients demonstrated limited gender-related knowledge and a preference for opposite sex roles.…”

“…Gender role is defined as the social expression of one’s personhood as male or female (LaTorre and Piper 1979; Al-Issa 1982). It is a “culturally constructed concept referring to the expectations, attitudes, and behaviors that are considered to be appropriate for each gender in that particular culture” (Notman and Nadelson 1995, p. 5).…”

The role of gender in schizophrenia is explored, and literature on gender and schizophrenia is critically reviewed. The importance of investigating gender differences in schizophrenia is underscored by the lack of sufficient research in this area to date and the comparative neglect of sociocultural issues during the "decade of the brain." The importance of incorporating gender factors into research analysis is demonstrated via an interdisciplinary discussion that involves psychiatric, anthropological, and sociological theory. Methodological and measurement issues in gender-based research are considered. Selected directions for future research initiatives that expand beyond a dichotomous comparison of "male" and "female" sex differences to examine the role of gender along a continuum as a sociocultural influence on schizophrenia onset, illness presentation, and treatment are presented.

The technical possibility of surgical sex change has opened up a debate concerning the legitimacy and utility of carrying out such an intervention at the request of the transsexual. Diagnostic, psychological, medical and ethical arguments have been brought forth, both for and against. Nonetheless, anatomical transformation by surgical means has currently become a practice as the frequency of serious gender identity disorders is constantly progressing.After a brief introduction, the present paper will consider typological, aetiological and epidemiological aspects of transsexualism. Treatment of the sex change applicant is then de®ned and discussed in terms of psychological, psychiatric, endocrinological and surgical aspects. Finally, the question of post-operation follow-up will be examined.

“…In 1962, Lucas had already noticed that female schizophrenics have a very high ratio of sexual delusions in general (55%). The delusion of changing sex is also documented by several case reports: Scherrer and Pelletier (1972); Konig (1973); Haberman el al (1975); Edie (1976); La Torre (1979); Commander (1990).…”
