Using computerized psychodiagnostic techniques, the authors reached a conclusion intermediate between the two extremes of opinion about transsexuals: 1, that they are very sick, delusional, psychotic, and self-destructive people; and 2, that they are psychologically normal people who had the misfortune to be born with the wrong genitalia. The majority of the twenty patients studied in this fashion showed hysterical personality features and a minority showed paranoid or

schizoid features, or both. Of the twelve patients who showed psychotic trends when the computerized psychodiagnostic techniques were used, most were found to be nonpsychotic when interviewing methods of diagnosis were employed; those who received surgery in this group of patients had good results.
