Description
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III), divides psychosexual disorders into four groups. Gender identity disorders are characterized by the individual's feelings of discomfort with an inappropriateness about his or her anatomic sex and by persistent behaviors generally associated with the other sex. Paraphilias are characterized by arousal in response to sexual objects or situations that are not part of normative arousal activity patterns and that, in varying degrees, may interfere with the capacity for reciprocal affectionate sexual activity. Psychosexual dysfunctions are characterized by inhibitions in sexual desire or the psychophysiological changes that characterize the sexual response cycle.

The only category specifically related to children is 302.60, Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood
