SS 15.11. eheytysterapioista

Ja taas änkyrähomojen propagandaa, jolla yritetään hämätä tyhmiä heteroita ja peloitella vainoharhaisia homoja. Tässä luuta kurkkuun moiselle puoskaroinnille:

Amerikan psykologisen yhdistyksen kustantamassa Professional Psychology-tiedelehdessä on ollut kaksi homouden muutosterapiaa puolustavaa artikkelia ja niissä kerrotaan tarkemmin muutosterapian periaatteista ja tuloksista:

An inclusive response to LGB and conservative religious persons: The case of same-sex attraction and behavior.
Pages 235-241
Yarhouse, Mark A.; Burkett, Lori A.
How should psychologists demonstrate respect for religion as an aspect of diversity when that aspect of diversity seems inconsistent with another form of diversity? This is a striking challenge when considering conservative expressions of religion in relation to a person's experience of same-sex attraction and behavior. This article (a) asserts that conservative religion is a legitimate, though often overlooked, expression of diversity; (b) identifies ways in which gay-integrative theorists and conservative religious persons fail to appreciate each other's perspective; and (c) presents a continuum of service delivery options to expand clinical services to persons who experience same-sex attraction.

Initial empirical and clinical findings concerning the change process for ex-gays.
Throckmorton, Warren
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice. Vol 33(3), Jun 2002, 242-248.

AbstractDespite the controversy surrounding sexual reorientation, there are only a few published empirical reports concerning the experiences of ex-gays. Summarizing these reports, this article describes the role of religious variables in the change process. Some kind of change appears to occur for many who identify themselves as ex-gay. Although sexual orientation is not an easily defined or measured phenomenon, change over time is not theoretically unfounded or empirically unprecedented. Many of the individuals who report efforts to become ex-gay feel that the efforts were helpful, and a small percentage feel the efforts were harmful.
