A.P.A. Says It Will Reconsider A Debate
Following the picketing of the American Psychiatric Association meeting
in May, NARTH sent a copy of its most recent Bulletin to each of the
A.P.A. trustees, along with a letter calling for a debate on the ethics
and effectiveness of reorientation therapy.
In response, the Chairman of the A.P.A. Ethics Committee, Dr. Richard
Malone, wrote NARTH to explain that A.P.A. "certainly supports the
concept of free and open debate on scientific matters within the A.P.A."
"I have asked the Scientific Program Committee to consider your
concern," Dr. Malone said, "so that attention may be given to your
request for an open scientific debate."
