A presente dissertação tem como objecto a análise, mediante a utilização do método Rorschach,
da função mediadora da bissexualidade psíquica no sujeito transexual. Procura-se perceber de que
modo a perturbação desta função influi na perturbação da constituição da identidade de género
no caso de um transexual F-M. A análise do protocolo revelou as dificuldades de integração dos
opostos feminino e masculino no sujeito transexual; dando conta de uma fraca capacidade
mediadora da função bissexual. Verificou-se a presença da temática da incompletude, a ausência
de simbolização, angústias de fragmentação e de aniquilação e fragilidade do envelope psíquico.
A procura de reatribuição sexual parece constituir uma forma de reparação narcísica, numa
procura identitária.
ABSTRACT: This thesis is focused on the analysis of the mediating function of psychic bisexuality of a transexual subject, according to the Rorschach method. The purpose was to understand how the disruption of this function influences the disturbance of of gender identity constitution in the case of an F-M transsexual. The protocol analysis revealed an integration difficulty regarding the masculin and feminin opposites in the transsexual subject showing a low capacity of bisexual mediation. The presence of the incompleteness theme, the absence of symbolization, anxieties of annihilation and of disintegration, as well as a fragility of the psychic envelope, were observed. The quest for sex reassignment appears to be a way of narcissistic repair, a search for identity.
