The Order of Psychologists of Lombardy has condemned the so-called "reparative therapy, therapeutic models that would change the sexual orientation of homosexuals in heterosexual: it announces Arcigay expressing satisfaction with this initiative.
The order, in a resolution passed by a large majority on May 12 last year - said the association - is clear: "any current psychotherapy aimed at influencing their clients towards heterosexuality or homosexuality is contrary to professional ethics and respect for the rights of their patients ... also the so-called 'reparative therapy', aimed at customers having a homosexual orientation, risk violating the code of ethics of the profession, to force their patients in the direction of 'change' or repress their sexual orientation , instead of analyzing the complexity of factors that determine and promote the full acceptance of themselves. "
The stop in Lombardy, which follows that of the Order of Psychologists of Lazio, is a result of a request by Arcigay Order Lombard. "It 's pronouncement of a particular value - says the president of Arcigay Paolo Patanè - because, comes just days after the International Day Against Homophobia, established on the occasion of the cancellation by the World Health Organization, homosexuality mental illness in 1973.
We know that rare Italian psychologists and psychotherapists are acting in the shadow of the parishes to convert homosexuals in heterosexual, gay and generating enormous suffering to the absurd hope to families and perpetuating negative stereotypes and prejudices based on religious and moral beliefs that are based on the incorrect assumption and false that homosexuality is a disease.
