In the counselling field there has in the past been much controversy around Reparative therapy. Reparative therapy suggests that sexuality can be ‘repaired’ inferring that same-sex attraction can be cured is an illness and second, it appears to make a prior assumption that it should be changed. (Source Therapy today a BACP publication. Vol 25 issue 1) Much of the controversy I believe comes from the USA but it is not unheard of here. I was pleased to be informed today that The Association for Christian Counselling (ACC) has ruled that such a practice is un-ethical and failure to comply will mean a member losing their accredited status. In short is recognises that Homosexuality is not an illness. Sexuality like all human behaviour is complex and I personally remain opposed to any form of discrimination.
