A bill introduced in Congress this week would ban the harmful, widely discredited practice known as “conversion therapy” across the country.
The Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2017 calls conversion therapy “an unfair or deceptive practice” that has been largely rejected by “professionals in education, social work, health, mental health and counseling.”
Conversion therapy is a practice based on the belief that homosexuality is a mental disease or disorder that can be reversed in children.
