discussion 7 Homosexuality & Conversion Therapy

Imagine you have a time machine, and you go back to the late 1960s–the heyday of conversion therapy in the medical community and US. In at least 200 words discuss how you would convince a behavioral therapist, like Dr. Davison, to stop performing conversion therapies. In your answer, be sure to acknowledge the reasoning that the therapist holds for performing the therapy, and bring in points from modern culture (some of this is addressed in the lecture), to make your argument.

In at least 50 words each, comment on the responses by two of your peers and be sure to say what you agree or disagree with and why.

Note: Regardless of whether you personally agree or disagree with providing conversion therapy, you must argue against it in this activity.RadioLab (38:00): UnErased Podcast episode 3 “Dr. Davison and the Gay CureLinks to an external site.”
