Richard Green (6 June 1936 – 6 April 2019) was an American-British sexologist, psychiatrist, lawyer, and author known for his research on homosexuality and transsexualism, specifically gender identity disorder in children. He is known for his behaviorism experiment in which he attempted to prevent male homosexuality and transsexuality by extinguishing feminine behavior in young boys. He later came to favor biological explanations for male homosexuality.
Green was the founding editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior (1971) and served as Editor until 2001. He was also the founding president of the International Academy of Sex Research (1975),[1] which made the Archives its official publication.[2] He served on the American Psychiatric Association DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders.[3]
