Transsexualism and Sex Reassignment

Front Cover
Johns Hopkins Press, 1969 - Political Science - 512 pages
Transsexualism and Sex Reassignment had its origins in the advisory board meetings of the Henry Benjamin Foundation. In the earliest stages, it was discussed as a volume that would embody the findings of the research group working directly under the auspices of the Foundation. it soon became evident that such a limitation would make the book unnecessarily parochial. It would, for example, have excluded those patients who were treated and operated at the newly constituted John Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic and who were not also patients in the Harry Benjamin Foundation research study, as well as the important body of work being done elsewhere, especially in Europe.

About the author (1969)

Richard Philip Green was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 6, 1936. He received a bachelor's degree from Syracuse University and a medical degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1961. He specialized in psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he became a professor and researcher. In 1972, he wrote a paper in The International Journal of Psychiatry questioning the classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association decided to drop homosexuality from its diagnostic manual. In 1975, he founded the International Academy of Sex Research and became the first editor of its journal, Archives of Sexual Behavior, a position he held until 2002. He wrote several books including The "Sissy Boy Syndrome" and the Development of Homosexuality. He appeared as an expert witness on behalf of gay or transgender people in more than a dozen trials. After receiving a law degree from Yale University in his 50s, Green relocated to Great Britain. He was a professor of psychiatry at the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College, London, and on the law and psychology faculties of Cambridge University. He died from esophageal cancer on April 6, 2019 at the age of 82.
