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")
