English abstract:
      This paper interviewed a case of patient with gender dysphoria via a bio-psycho-social approach. The client, a 21-year-old college student of male sex, had been into female dressing since the age of ten. As an adult, he became increasingly convinced that he should become a woman and began taking hormone therapy in secret and on an irregular basis. He felt himself trapped in a cycle of anxiety and distress, due to the concerns about the side effects of hormone therapy, and the practical problems regarding the impact on his academic and career arrangements, as well as the ways to explain himself to his parents. Through a remote psychiatric consultation, therapists provided targeted interventions based on the bio-psycho-social model.
