Among the clients with gender dysphoria who referred to the forensic medicine of Tehran province in 1401, 4 were selected by available sampling method and underwent integrative analytical treatment for 8 months. Data were collected in the three stages of baseline, treatment and follow-up for 9 months using reflective reaction questionnaire and interpersonal problems. In order to analyze the data, visual analysis was used to calculate the recovery percentage. Results: The results showed that in the stages of treatment and follow-up, the overall score of reflective reaction increased and interpersonal problems decreased significantly (P<0.05). The confidence index of reflective reaction has increased and the uncertainty index has decreased significantly, and these changes were stable over time.
