Psychiatry and psychology have a long and highly debated history in
relation to gender. In particular, they have attracted criticism
for policing the boundaries of 'normal' gender expression through
gender identity diagnoses, such as transvestism, transsexualism,
gender identity disorder and gender dysphoria. Drawing on
discursive psychology, this book traces the historical development
of psychiatric constructions of 'normal' and 'abnormal' gender
expression. It contextualizes the recent reconstruction of gender
in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and its criteria for gender dysphoria.
This latest diagnosis illustrates the continued disagreement and
debate within the profession surrounding gender identity as
'disordered'. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on the
conflicted history between feminist and transgender communities in
the changing context of a more trans-positive feminism, and the
implications of these diagnoses for these distinct but linked
communities. Psychology and Gender Dysphoria examines debates and
controversies surrounding psychiatric diagnoses and theories
related to gender and gender nonconformity by exploring recent
research, examples of collaborative perspectives, and existing
feminist and trans texts. As such, the book is relevant for
postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers of gender, feminism, and
critical psychology as well as historical issues within psychiatry.
