Abstract

Our experience with transgender individuals in healthcare is based on a psychological path, where the needs expressed by individuals are considered in the perspective of the life-course. Comprehension and attention on psychological figures are considered as the expression of identity, desires, and life projects. The current evolutions of the phenomenon open doors to the possibility to reduce the distance between sexual and gender identity, also considering the social role and all the interactions that people experiencing gender dysphoria have in their social interactions. This work has considered important guidelines suggested by the American Psychological Association,to share our experience on the themes of identity, affectivity, and psychological phenomena involved in the clinical relationship.
