Back To The 1950s
On October 30, the Vatican issued new rules that
urges seminaries to enlist the aid of psychologists in screening candidates for homosexuality and other "psychic disturbances."
It seems to me that the Los Angeles Times is correct in noting that no APA credited psychologist should ethically cooperate with this kind of bigotry and psychological illiteracy. Apart from a tiny fringe, American pscyhologists have not viewed homosexuality as a "disturbance" or indeed in any way a problem. Neither, of course, did Freud.
