Episode 276 | Conversion Therapy
In today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss conversion therapy - interventions alleged to alter same-sex attractions or an individual’s gender expression. I start the episode by defining what "conversion therapy" is and discuss Supreme Court rulings that have brought conversion therapy to news headlines. I discuss tactics used in conversion therapy, as well as what the research says regarding effectiveness and outcomes. I discuss major medical and mental health organizations' positions on conversion therapy, as well as current conversion therapy bans for minors. I highlight criticisms of the recent Supreme Court ruling, as well as discuss ways that individuals can get involved in helping to ban this harmful practice.
