A Stranger in My Own Body: Atypical Gender Identity Development and Mental Health

Editor : Domenico Di Ceglie

Reviews and Endorsements

'I very much hope that, by facing the tensions generated at the boundaries between these different perspectives, new ideas and new models will emerge to help us increase our understanding of this area of human development, to the benefit of the children, adolescents, and families facing these complex problems.'
- Domenico Di Ceglie, from his Preface

'Phenomenologically, this is a very important book: it draws the attention of health care personnel, teachers, media people, and parents to the phenomena of gender identity development, which have a very long history of virtual total neglect. Like all other aspects of development, gender identity can in a variety of ways become derailed. All too often, the response of adults has been to blame the victim and to punish or criminalize the derailment. "Halt!", says this book. It is time to approach gender identity in the non-judgmental way of science.'
- John Money, from his Foreword
