Psychotectic tharapy is a form of psychotherapy used by the androgynous J'naii to eliminate feelings of gender identity. It involves extensive rewiring of the neural pathways. The J'naii scientist Soren was given psychotectic therapy in 2368 after confessing to feelings of female gender identity and an attraction to Enterprise-D first officer William Riker. (TNG: "The Outcast")

The Greek/Latin tec- (as in plate tectonics) means "covered", but the writers may have constructed the word "psychotectic" simply to sound exotic without meaning anything.
