“The American Psychological Association declared Wednesday that mental health professionals should not tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or other treatments.”
“Science” that has become confused with politics is no longer trustworthy. Experience teaches us that if the APA did research and reached a result that conluded unequivocally to the contrary, the results would be either distorted beyond recognition or suppressed. Academics who choose to put politics above science assume the risk of a total loss of credibility, and many organizations will put forth no ‘science’ that hasn’t passed muster of aligning its ‘truth’ with a political agenda. The APA is one such organization.
What crock. I know a male who was gay, but he got counseling and is now a very happy married (to a woman) man.
