Robert Jesse Stoller (born on December 15, 1924 in Crestwood, New York, USA, in a family of Russian Jews. Died on September 6, 1991), was an American professor of psychiatry at UCLA Medical School and a researcher at the UCLA Gender Identity Clinic. He has been criticized for research into finding the cause of transgender identities with intent to prevent them, and later similar research he inspired.[1]
He was the author of nine books, the co-author of three others, and the publisher of over 115 articles.[2]
Stoller is known for his theories concerning the development of gender identity, which he is credited as having coined in 1964.[3] Stoller is also known for his theories concerning the dynamics of sexual excitement.
In 2010, Richard Green published "Robert Stoller's Sex and Gender: 40 Years On" in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, which analyzed the contributions of the book and his research overall in the field of transgender healthcare.[3]
