LOREDO-NARCIANDI, Juan Carlos. The brain in diapers. Can a brain be in the wrong body?. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.2, pp.64-70.  Epub 16-Out-2023. ISSN 1886-1415.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.3012.

The aim of this paper is to critically analyze Antonio Guillamón Fernández's book Gender identity. A psychobiological approach (2021). In order to do so, the book is contextualized within the current "brain-centric" wave, and I also discuss the theoretical framework underlying the presentation of empirical material. From a constructivist point of view, I suggest that Guillamón assumes a monistic ontology and a reductionist approach that blocks the interpretation of this empirical material, which could be better understood by including psychosocial identification processes that, in turn, depend on specific historical and cultural phenomena.

Palavras-chave : Constructivism; Gender identity; Monism; Psychobiology.
