“…Its discussion of these questions was thorough and lengthy. It provided the basis for the APA's resolution on Appropriate Affirmative Responses to Sexual Orientation Distress and Change Efforts (Anton 2010); the Task Force's Report was part of the evidence relied on by the signatories to the UK's Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy in the UK (NHS England et al 2015, n. 5).…”

Abstract:In this article, I situate the practice of sexual orientation conversion efforts (SOCE), sometimes known as conversion or reparative therapy, within historical, cultural, religious and political attitudes to non-heterosexuality. Using documentary analysis, I investigate the contemporary resistance of two socially conservative organizations: National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) (US) and Core Issues Trust (UK), to legal and professional regulation of the sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) which they advocate. A number of themes emerged from the various documentation. The most convincing of these themes is a claim that to provide SOCE is to respect client's autonomy rights to diminish unwanted sexual attraction, and to live in accordance with the moral principles that they value. I demonstrate that neither NARTH nor Core Issues Trust are consistent in their regard for client autonomy. I suggest that the most plausible reason for these organizations' emphasis on autonomy and other secular tropes, such as scientific proof and progressive language, is that they provide a smokescreen for conservative Christian values. If we value a world of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) rights and recognition, we must counter this backlash against sexual and social justice.

“…What we can deduce is that these psychotherapies are unsuccessful because they aim to alter a child's emerging gender identity (i.e., an internal sense of self) by attempting to change the child's nonconforming gender expression (i.e., a behavior). Similar behavioral efforts to change aspects of sexual identity (i.e., reparative psychotherapies for homosexuality) have also proven unsuccess-ful, deleterious, and lacking in efficacy [for a review, see Anton, 2010]. Professional health organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Psychiatric Association (APA), and the American Psychological Association, recommend against implementing such change efforts in clinical care [AAP, 1993;Anton, 2010;APA, 2000].…”

“…Research has shown that many psychology graduate programs do not adequately focus on LGB issues, or prepare practitioners for work with LGB clients (Biaggio, Orchard, Larson, Petrino, & Mihara, 2003;Phillips & Fischer, 1998). In addition, the American Psychological Association (APA) reported that some practitioners continue to erroneously believe that nonheterosexual individuals have a mental disorder (Anton, 2010) in spite of the APA's repeated statements that being LGB is not a mental illness (APA, 2011). In keeping with the recommendations set forth by the U.S. Public Health Service (1999) and AR 600-63, May 2007/RAR Sept 2010, it is recommended that all supervisors and commanders, as well as all helping and gatekeeping professionals in service, physical healthcare, and behavioral health roles should receive specific training for at-risk populations.…”

It is estimated that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals are three to five times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual counterparts. Factors linked to increased LGB suicide risk are overt and covert discrimination, internalized oppression, nondisclosure of sexual orientation, and lack of adequate social support. As the U.S. military adjusts to the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT), it will be imperative to understand and support service people who are struggling with many of these same issues. This article explores factors linked to suicidality and provides education for professionals working with LGB service people. Emphasis is placed on strategies for the provision of support and suicide prevention for members of this population.Each year, the U.S. military loses valuable service members to suicide. The risk of suicide is heightened for service members who experience intense social and personal stress, isolation, and discrimination. Service members from minority groups may be among the most vulnerable to those stressors. For lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) service members, the risk of suicide that is associated with their role as members of the military may be amplified by a lifetime of experiences as individuals with socially stigmatized sexual orientations.
