5.0 out of 5 stars Transvestites and Transsexuals--Technical Background, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Transvestites and Transsexuals: Toward a Theory of Cross-Gender Behavior (Perspectives in Sexuality) (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent summary of the psychological research on the subject and presents a theory of the origins and process of heterosexual transvestites. It establishes a research methodology and the results. However, due to the population available the results can not meet complete and definitive research standards and the results are therefore supposition based on the available data.

Found the book to be very technical, but it provides much background on past reserach. It presents its data, assumptions and qualifies the reserach results very well.

If interested in the the technical material on this subject, it is well worth the effort for the nonscientist. The social scientist will have to draw their own conclusions.
