Conversion therapy is aimed at making gay people straight and transgender individuals to cisgender. There is no science behind these cruel, manipulative and torturous forms of so-called corrective therapy and there is a lot of empirical evidence showing the psychological harm these “conversion therapies” inflict on people. However, conversion therapy is perfectly legal in lots of countries around the world. Even in the United Kingdom, conversion therapy is legal and each time a government pledges to outlaw it, they backtrack or add in disgusting loopholes. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn why should conversion therapy be illegal, what harm does conversion therapy cause and so many more fascinating (if not heartbreaking) facts. If you enjoy learning about LGBT+ psychology, mental health and psychotherapy then this will be a brilliant episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn how early menopause leaves many out of sync with themselves and their imagined future, new study explores why brains lose their flexibility in psychiatric conditions, and how a podcast sets up those with visible differences for smoother dating.
