Upon implementation of a number of psychiatric interviews and completion of a battery of psycho- logical tests, the Institute declared that any intervention which can return the case to her original condition was accepted and encouraged.  Findings: The result of genotype evaluation of the case was 46 XX which is compatible with the female sex.Rorschach, MMPI, and MCMI-2 did not show any disorders, but indicated characteris- tics of dependent personality, need for dependency and attention seeking, self doubt, and a self critical attitude.   Results: Although the sex reassignment surgeries for the patients with primary diagnosis of gender identity disorder is the most effective therapeutic method, reviewing psychiatric evaluation of the case, approval of sex reassignment demands a more precise reassessment of the diagnostic criteria.     }, Keywords = {gender identity disorder, gender, sex reassignment}, volume = {9}, Number = {3}, pages = {6-11}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-155-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-155-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2004} } @article{ author = {Khodayarifard, M. and Mohammadi, M.

They described their experience of “perceived support” and “received support” analytic- cally. The interviews were tape recoded the participants’ statements were analyzed using the procedures and techniques of ground theory.   Findings: The findings showed that “support” is multidimensional and a vital need it must continuously be available to service recipients. The patients and their families were aware of lack of support by the health treatment service providers. From the perspective of the ser- vice recipients, mental support was deemed to have the highest priority. Nurses and physi- cians considered physical support with the highest priority and all the clinical intervene-tions equal to that of “support”. Nonetheless in comparison with the concept of “caring”, support is very deeper and more extensive.  Result: Support, a process of social interaction is initially established through empathic connection leading to generation of a network of safety for the service recipients. Once a specific meaning of illness and its treatment is structurally formed for the patient, necessa- ry abilities in physical, psychological, and social arenas may be attained.
