Identity formation in adolescence: case study of gender identity disorder and treatment through an intermediate-care day hospital.
A review of the literature on gender identity disorders is integrated with a case study presentation of a psychiatrically disturbed nineteen-year-old transvestite youth. Accommodations and interventions made both with this patient and in the day care program for psychiatrically disturbed youths that allowed him to live at home and be maintained despite severe pathology are discussed.
