Chapter 3: Follow-up studies in chronological order
McKee, 1976
Dept. of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University School of
Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA
This publication, cited as
follow-up study in the overview by Lothstein (1982), does
not merit this description. Mainly it says generalities
about patients with transsexual symptoms. The
transmission of his own data limits itself to the
following remark: "To date, 50 persons have
requested sex reassignment in our clinic at Vanderbilt.
Of these 50, 25 were terminated after being diagnosed as
psychotic or inappropriate candidates for some other
reason. Seven male transsexuals have received sex
reassignment operation, and all except one are doing well
postoperatively. Four female transsexuals have been
accepted as candidates for operation. The remaining 14
applicants are either in the probationary period or are
being evaluated as possible candidates for this
procedure" (p. 187)
