title: Puberty and psychological development.
abstract: Emphasis is placed on the body and its role in shaping our relationship to reality. Puberty is responsible for integrating an irreversible body image either masculine or feminine. Pubertal pathology in which the fantasies about physical bisexuality remain ensconced can make working through psychical bisexuality a more arduous task.
