Appropriate Therapeutic Responses
to Sexual Orientation：
Abstract：
The American Psychological Association Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic
Responses to Sexual Orientation
conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed journal literature on
sexual orientation change efforts
(SOCE) and concluded that efforts to change sexual orientation are unlikely
to be successful and involve some
risk of harm, contrary to the claims of SOCE practitioners and advocates.
Even though the research and clinical
literature demonstrate that same-sex sexual and romantic attractions,
feelings, and behaviors are normal and
positive variations of human sexuality, regardless of sexual orientation
identity, the task force concluded that
the population that undergoes SOCE tends to have strongly conservative
religious views that lead them to seek
to change their sexual orientation. Thus, the appropriate application of
affirmative therapeutic interventions for
those who seek SOCE involves therapist acceptance, support, and
understanding of clients and the facilitation of
clients’ active coping, social support, and identity exploration and
development, without imposing a specific sexual
orientation identity outcome.
