→Are there any other groups besides APA that reject Reparative therapy?: jus da facts
It's an issue of sourcing. There is a controversy in the American Psychiatric Assoc. These controversies need to be articulated. What is not acceptable, are non-medical and non-psychiartric sources for criticism of this psychiatric therapy. That means no LGBT, no American Psychological Association, etc. etc. etc. as sources. Sources as critics of this therapy must be Psychiatrists. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 23:27, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

:That's ridiculous. On what basis? Psychiatrists are not particularly well-trained in therapy compared to other fields. And what is the controversy over the diagnoses?[[User:Murray|Murray]] 00:03, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

::The question is over a medical diagnosis. American Psychological Association takes its lead form the American Psychiatric Assoc. No one else is qualified, and even at that, the question is extremely controvversial in the psychiatric profession. We have an unknown variable, threre are many gay activists who have premeated that the profeassions. They may have a conflict of interest in pushing psuedoscience in pursuit of a politcal agenda. This is well known and has been occuring for decades. And how would we know if they had this conflict of interest or not, unless it's disclosed. There are other factors as well.
