NEWS.- Richard A. Cohen is an American writer, lecturer and expsicotherapist who is dedicated to touring the world giving courses in which he assures that he can change the sexual orientation of homosexuals and bisexuals who do not want to be. Under the title "Tools for accompaniment for people with same sex attraction", try to convince everyone that homosexuality is a disease and has a viable cure.
Cohen was expelled in perpetuity from the American Counseling Association when he was accused of violating his ethical and professional code in at least six points, including: "trying to satisfy their personal needs at the expense of clients, take advantage of trust and confidence". the emotional dependence of clients to request testimonials or the promotion of products in a deceptive manner. "
Cohen's sexual reorientation therapies have been condemned and criticized by associations of doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists. In the 2014 year, the American Psychological Association reported that: "These talks provoke, in addition to emotional and psychological damage, high probabilities of depression and suicidal tendencies. All current scientific evidence indicates that sexual orientation can not be changed. " Even the Official College of Psychologists of Madrid, says that "homosexuality is not a psychological disorder, so a psychological intervention is not justified. In summary, it has been proven that these therapies do not serve to change the homosexuality of a person and some of the sponsors themselves describe it as mockery and swindle.
In the month of June of this year, Cohen intended to give talks in a downtown hotel in Madrid, but his desire was frustrated by the refusal of the hotel chain to host the act to be knowledgeable about its content. Something similar happened in Mexico City, where the Council to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination (CROPED) issued a complaint to prevent the seminars. But Richard Cohen this time has gotten his way and is now moving forward with therapies in the Mexican capital.
