Abstract

The definition of gender dysphoria has been the subject of extensive scientific debate in various fields. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-V) characterizes gender dysphoria as a psychological condition due to a discrepancy between perceived and assigned gender. The scientific community has engaged in an extensive debate over the years regarding the classification of gender dysphoria, initially characterizing it as a gender identity disorder and subsequently removing it from the category of mental disorder. This paper aims to use bibliometric techniques to analyze scientific productivity and study the evolution of content on gender dysphoria from 1991 to 2022. It provides to map the scientific research production in this field through the science mapping approach highlighting the changes that have taken place over the past three decades.
