          Abstract

          Abstract 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.

          Resumen En este trabajo se intenta analizar críticamente el libro de Antonio Guillamón Fernández Identidad de género. Una aproximación psicobiológica (2021). Para ello se contextualiza su publicación dentro de la oleada “cerebrocentrista” contemporánea y se discute el marco teórico que subyace a la presentación del material empírico que se realiza en sus capítulos. Se sugiere, desde un punto de vista constructivista, que el libro asume una ontología monista y un enfoque reduccionista que lastran la interpretación de dicho material empírico, el cual podría interpretarse mejor incluyendo procesos psicosociales de identificación que, a su vez, dependen de fenómenos históricos y culturales concretos.
