Noun

egodystonicity (uncountable)

  1. (psychology, psychiatry) The quality of being egodystonic.
    • 1979 August 11, Lawrence Mass, “Psychiatry on Trial”, in Gay Community News, volume 7, number 4, page 8:
      The patient's shame about his condition would be consistent with the psychoanalytic viewpoint that the homosexual really wants, instinctively, to be exclusively heterosexual. The admitted ("committed" or "overt") homosexual is far more exotic, controversial and threatening to the traditional psychoanalyst than one who exhibits the more familiar ego-dystonicity.
