Someone posted as a comment the entire text to this story in the New York Times, “A Counselor’s Convictions Put Her Profession on Trial.” Just posting that as a comment was not a good idea, but I thought I’d share a link to the original story here. It’s a good story; here’s a passage I thought was interesting:
Douglas C. Haldeman, a Seattle psychologist and a former chairman of the American Psychological Association’s committee on lesbian, gay and bisexual concerns, said the court’s emphasis on referral was misplaced.
“The matter of concern,” Dr. Haldeman said, “is, we don’t train our students in discriminatory patterns of treatment, and we don’t permit them. We don’t say, ‘You can’t treat Muslims’ or ‘You can’t treat black people.’ ”
