Video Feature: NARTH Report Challenges APA Claims on Homosexuality

 

 

Meta-analysis of research finds sexual orientation change is possible and not harmful.

 

People who are highly motivated can change their sexual orientation, according to an exhaustive and thorough review of more than a century’s worth of research.

What Research Shows: NARTH’s Response to the American Psychological Association’s Claims on Homosexuality, is an historical review of more than 600 reports, studies and surveys which arrives at the following conclusions:

1. There is substantial evidence that sexual orientation may be changed through reorientation therapy.

2. Efforts to change sexual orientation have not been shown to be consistently harmful or to regularly lead to greater self-hatred, depression, and other self-destructive behaviors.

3. There is significantly greater medical, psychological, and relational pathology in the homosexual population than the general population.

In this Focus Action Update, Stuart Shepard talks with Melissa Fryrear, who knows from personal experience that change is possible.
