Conversion therapy is 1. unethical as it doesn’t meet an acceptable standard of care; 2. no psychologist could have received accredited training for it. 3. it is immensely harmful quackery. Professional regulations cannot free people from stigma imposed by religious bigots and homophobic parents. However, you can combat such stigma by banning psychologists from imposing CT on minors.
