The Case Against Conversion "Therapy" de Douglas C. Haldeman

The Case Against Conversion "Therapy"

Editat de Douglas C. Haldeman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2022

Notăm cu interes apariția volumului The Case Against Conversion "Therapy", o lucrare de referință publicată sub egida American Psychological Association care abordează o temă de o importanță critică prin prisma interdisciplinarității. Textul corelează date din psihologia clinică, istoria medicinei, etica profesională și sociologia drepturilor civile pentru a demonta fundamentul pseudo-științific al așa-numitelor terapii de conversie.

Remarcăm rigoarea cu care editorul Douglas C. Haldeman a structurat acest volum, trecând de la o perspectivă istorică — de la acceptare la condamnarea practicilor — către o analiză exhaustivă a bazei de dovezi. Prima parte a cărții examinează sistematic studiile realizate între 1960 și 2020, oferind o sinteză clară a motivelor pentru care SOCE (eforturile de schimbare a orientării sexuale) și GICE (eforturile de schimbare a identității de gen) sunt considerate nu doar ineficiente, ci de-a dreptul dăunătoare. Comparabil cu Why a Gay Person Can't Be Made Un-Gay de Martin Kantor MD în rigurozitate, volumul de față este actualizat pentru transformările majore din ultimul deceniu, incluzând cercetări recente asupra impactului acestor intervenții asupra minorilor și evoluția politicilor de sănătate mintală.

Progresia conținutului indică o trecere logică de la cercetarea fundamentală la studiul stresului minoritar și al impactului colateral. Spre deosebire de manualele care se limitează la tehnici de consiliere, precum Handbook of Counseling and Psychotherapy with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Clients, această lucrare funcționează ca un manifest științific și o resursă juridică, oferind argumentele necesare pentru discreditarea definitivă a practicilor de reprogramare socială. Stilul este academic, documentat prin numeroase referințe bibliografice, fiind o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care comunitatea medicală a evoluat către practicile afirmative.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor din domeniul sănătății mintale, studenților la psihologie și asistenților sociali care doresc să înțeleagă riscurile clinice ale terapiilor de conversie. Cititorul câștigă acces la o sinteză de 60 de ani de cercetare, primind argumente bazate pe dovezi pentru a susține tratamentele afirmative și pentru a proteja integritatea psihologică a tinerilor LGBTQ într-un context social încă marcat de prejudecăți.

Descriere scurtă

Thousands of LGBTQ youth are forced into harmful "treatments" with devastating mental health consequences. This volume explores the history, effects, and danger of so-called conversion "therapy," Here is a compendium of recent scholarship and clinical work on this controversial topic, including the important ethical questions involved. Because such treatment is not actually therapeutic, it is now more accurately referred to as sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) or gender identity change efforts (GICE). Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, considerable research showed SOCE to be not only ineffective, but also harmful. As a result of these findings, professional organizations such as the American Psychological Association have denounced the practice and recommended affirmative, supportive treatment instead. Although SOCE has been widely discredited, it remains legal in most states and continues to be practiced with lesbian, gay, and bisexual children and adolescents. Furthermore, as the past 20 years have seen an increase in gender nonconforming and transgender individuals, there has been a similar rise in efforts to socially reprogram gender nonconforming children and adolescents. This volume is grounded in the theoretical perspective long embraced by the scientific and healthcare communities--that same-sex attraction and gender nonconformity that same-sex attraction and behavior and gender nonconformity are not, in and of themselves, signs of psychopathology. Rather, the theoretical basis for this book is that sexual minority and gender nonconforming individuals should be supported in embracing their own identities. This theoretical approach to practice with sexual minorities and gender diverse individuals is consistent with decades of APA policy and ethics. As sampling techniques have improved vastly in the past couple decades, does the recent research on SOCE show anything new? What motivates individuals to seek these harmful treatments, either for themselves or for their children? What does the record show about the efficacy and effects of SOCE and GICE? This book synthesizes findings from a vast literature base to answer these and other important questions.
