Why I Resigned from Tavistock: Trans-Identified Children Need Therapy, Not Just "Affirmation" and Drugs

TOPICAL PROBLEMS OF PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

  • Marcus Evans
Keywords: gender identity disorder, perversion, adolescents

Abstract

The article examines the causes of the current crisis in the UK national healthcare system in relation to gender identity disorders. The author provides references to the results of weighted clinical trials, which are purposefully hushed up in order to maintain the status quo. The author advocates a psychoanalytic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of gender identity disorders, which excludes entering into a perverse conspiracy with the "consumer of services".
