Abstract
"Abstract: Gender is a fundamental aspect of our personal identity and yet there is no general agreement as to either its origin or even its definition. Nevertheless, paradoxically, conformity to strictly gendered behavioural norms is rigidly enforced by society. The author suggests that these factors lie at the heart of gender identity therapy and outlines some of the consequences of this situation for transgendered individuals presenting for therapy. He also explores some of the challenges which this presents for the therapist and proposes that a Gestalt approach based on phenomenology is the solution to many of the difficulties. Key words: gender identity, Gestalt therapy, phenomenology, transgender, dysphoria, sexuality."
