Impasse de la rivalité maternelle et féminine chez les transsexuelles

Abstract

Objectives The projective protocols are due for analysing one type of gender dysphoria, a kind from transsexual females, looking for an anatomical sexual status to prove their one's identity. This psychogenesis feeling comes directly from their maternal imago. The female identity and these derived experiences, through transsexuals, are the fundamentals of this article. Patients and methods From five cases submitted to the multi-clinical exams protocol, we can observe three charts from Murray's Thematic Aperception Test (TAT). In chart 5, 7 GF, 9 GF, we can see the saturation level of the latent attraction from the maternal and female identity question. According to a psycho-dynamical clinical conception to intervene on the body, the deadlock in the conflict between the transsexual female and the mother lead to less fantasy. From the TAT results, one could notice a clash to the facts, a difference in perception, an unmarked or avoiding the reality (type C on the analysis rates, originated by Shentoub). Results The analysis of the observed individual indicates a shortage of the narrative ability as well as the inter-personal one. It comes to stories overstepping the external reality. The dramatic effect does not exist and the perception fulfils a non-significant internal reality. In that case the perception takes the place of the representation and the affect is therefore plaid down. At the end of the narration, it occurs that the psychodynamic test of personality of the candidates to a sexual reassignment is more important and reinforced. Conclusion Some questions are pending due to the non conflictual relationship from the transsexuals to their mothers and about the sexual post-reassignment. Once reconciled with her own look, how should the transsexual female deal with her own mother, and in the future how should her be in love or having sexual relations with other females?
