Y1 - 2008 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 2e AB - • There are two basic criteria for the diagnosis of gender identity disorder (GID): A strong and persistent cross-gender identification and persistent discomfort about one's assigned sex or a sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex. GID is not simply a child's nonconformity to conventional sex roles but a significant and pervasive disturbance in the child's view of himself or herself. The disturbance is generally severe enough to disrupt both familial and social interactions.
