About ourselves

The registered non-profit association for the promotion of studies about body identity disorders was founded in Zurich in March 2013, parallel to a scientific conference about the same topic, the Conference on Xenomelia. Among the members of the non-profit association are scientists, medical doctors, persons suffering from BID and everyone who is interested in the topic. Our association is registered in Freiburg/Breisgau (Germany) and was recognized as a non-profit association.

Our goals:

• The main task for the association is to stay in touch with the Scientists and universities involved in the research of BID (Body Integrity Dysphoria), worldwide.

• In the public research area we are the platform for important studies. At the same time medical professionals may get profound informations relating to the illness BID.

• In the private sector the members get informed about the annual meeting of the association and news from the board. In a general part the members can communicate with each other.

• In the private research area the members get encouraged by the scientists and the universities to take part in the new studies.

A consulting committee, which counts renowned researchers in the field of body identity disorders among its members, supports us to reach our goals.
