Abstract
This paper critically evaluates three diagnostic models developed for use with gender-disturbed children: the DSM-III diagnosis of gender identity disorder of childhood, Rosen et al.‘s (1977) distinction between “cross-gender identification” and “gender behavior disturbance,” and Stoller's diagnosis of male childhood transsexualism. Particular attention is paid to developmental variables affecting diagnostic decisions. In addition, current evidence for the reliability and validity of the three diagnostic models is presented.
