Comments on: NARTH adopts Leona Tyler Principle https://wthrockmorton.com/2007/02/10/narth-adopts-leona-tyler-principle/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:10:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Michael Bussee https://wthrockmorton.com/2007/02/10/narth-adopts-leona-tyler-principle/#comment-3631 Wed, 14 Feb 2007 15:10:41 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com//2007/02/10/narth-adopts-leona-tyler-principle/#comment-3631 A real change would be for NARTH to accept responsibility for its mistakes and failures and stop blaming “gay activists” for the fact that they have no good science to back up their claims. They have blamed “gay activists” for forcing the APA to remove homosexual as an illness. They have blamed “gay activists” for the fact that they have not produced any good scientific studies. The have blamed “gay activists” for wanting to “silence them” when articles by their own advisors (Berger and Schoenwolf) were widely criticized.

I bet they aslo blame the activists for their decision to shut down their blog. What would be really nice would be a public apology for all of this blame-shifting. Like Timothy, I am pessimistic.

NARTH always claims that they are the ones who represent real science and that everyone else is just polically correct. I don’t predict much change.

Nicolosi OUT. Blog DOWN. Science IN. Move that bus! It’s “Extreme Makeover — NARTH Edition”!

I guess this simple ethical stance was controversial within NARTH?

Now, I’ll be watching to see how NARTH implement’s this principle. The devil is always in the details.
