Allan E. Barsky PhD, MSW, JD, Psychology Today; SCOTUS Rules Conversion Therapy Ban Likely Unconstitutional
Recent SCOTUS conversion therapy ruling gives rise to ethical and legal conflicts.
- "The Supreme Court suggests that state bans on conversion therapy might be unconstitutional.
- Regardless of whether state bans are constitutional, conversion therapy is harmful.
- Mental health professionals' ethical duties to clients include doing no harm.
- Even if conversion therapy is found to be legally permissible, it is unethical."
