The relational self: views from feminism on development and caring.

Feminist scholarship describing women's relational self and its development can influence awareness of women's psychological development as occurring within the context of their relationships to others. Women's psychological maturation progresses in connection with others rather than only in separation from others, as traditional theories have espoused. The author argues that feminist scholarship emphasizes newer theories that elucidate the relational self, describe its development, and clarify caring and relationships. Understanding the concept of the relational self can contribute to effective psychiatric nursing, and feminist scholarship can assist developing in psychiatric nursing's conceptualization of the relational self.

[Partial testicular feminization syndrome].

OBJECTIVES: To report one case of partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. METHODS: The patient underwent history and physical examination, blood tests, hormone determinations, androgen stimulation and suppression tests, nuclear chromatin and karyotype, imaging and endoscopic tests, exploratory laparoscopy with gonadal biopsy and bilateral orchyectomy, and subsequent genital plasty. RESULTS: We report the case of a phenotypically female patient with genital ambiguity, with a dorsally curved peniform clitoris and a urogenital sinus with partial labia fusion. Blood tests, hormonal determinations, and androgen stimulation-suppression tests were all normal. Both ultrasound and laparoscopy showed absence of internal genitalia. The biopsy showed testicles with relative Leydig cell hyperplasia and slight basal membrane thickening. The cosmetic and functional results were completely satisfactory with normal sexual intercourse. CONCLUSIONS: The reinforcement of the generic role after genital plasty provided satisfactory identification and sexual performance.
