Transexualidade, Tendência Atualizante e Terapia Afirmativa: o clássico e o contemporâneo nas questões de identidade de gênero e sexualidade no processo terapêutico

Abstract

The field of sexuality proves to be a vast field with few studies, mainly within the transsexual universe; we are faced with several questions that permeate sexual orientation issues taking on an existential character. We seek to carry out a bibliographic survey of how the issue of transsexuality is worked under the Rogerian perspective based on the main postulate of this consolidated approach (ACP), the Updating Trend in conjunction with affirmative therapy postures that treat sexuality as something natural and positive of human being and based on research on sexual orientation and gender identity. We perceive aspects, in their majority, psychoanalysts for such questions always with a pathologizing look. We defend the possibility of working together on these two techniques, the Person-Centered Approach and Affirmative Therapy to minimize suffering within the group of transsexuals as well as the LGBTQIA + class.
