A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality

A reminder that psychology has a checkered past and that that past isn't necessary all that long ago as this book was published in 2002. Also, that sometimes psychology is a misused tool/idea and wanders into pseudoscience territory.
I was saddened to see that about 11% of the reviews are 5 stars as I see this concept as being inherently harmful and bigoted. I'm also concerned that Goodreads recommended it to me...what weird algorithms.

Thanks SPLC :D

In 2009, Royal College of Psychiatrists criticized Nicolosi's appearance at a conference in London, saying that: “there is no sound scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed” and “furthermore, so-called treatments of homosexuality create a setting in which prejudice and discrimination can flourish.”
