Comments on: OneNewsNow distorts Karten sexual orientation change study https://wthrockmorton.com/2010/04/29/onenewsnow-distorts-karten-sexual-orientation-change-study/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Thu, 07 Jun 2012 00:08:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Jean-Pierre Katz https://wthrockmorton.com/2010/04/29/onenewsnow-distorts-karten-sexual-orientation-change-study/#comment-39173 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 00:08:23 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=6700#comment-39173 It saddens me that Elan Karten has the approval of the Israeli Psychological Association to practice reparative therapy in Israel ( if he warns his patients about the risks). It’s time for this practice to be banned worldwide.

Although I believe some can get support to adopt a hereosexual lifestyle, I think

reparative therapy and its theories are complete hogwash and cannot help someone to adjust in the long run.

Why not just use an abbreviation like CB? Probably easier to remember 😉

I’m guessing: bad science distorted to support an assertion further distorted by OneNewsNow to advance an agenda.

Accurate reporting is entirely possible in this instance. Simply report what the authors said would be a good start.
