If you read the actual statement that was approved it is not nearly strong enough. "Reparative" therapy causes great harm that could lead to death. How hard is it to call this sham what it is?

As an scientific organization this is about as strong a statement as they can officially make. This is clearly an attempt by the APA to flatly denounce conversion therapy.

Conversion therapy is a fraud, and that last line is distilled truth. It's scary that some "conversion therapists" are licensed--if there's a license involved, that makes it more likely that an insurance company might pay for the fraud.
