This article presents a collective account of a qualitative study on the subjective experience of six Caucasian female subjects, ranging in age from 38 to 63 years, who are coupled with a trans-person undergoing a gender transition by means of hormones and/or surgery. A psychoanalytic case-study design was used to collect in-depth and reflective data that were analyzed and interpreted. Findings across cases are discussed. A summary of the core implications is critical to the mental health field, not only to provide more effective clinical services to this population, but to help remedy the scarcity of literature available at present.
