Excerpt from the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality article: – “Several clinical members of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT), some of whom are also members of NARTH, have filed a formal ethical complaint against the Board of Directors of the San Francisco chapter of CAMFT.”

“The therapists have complained about the dissemination of biased and inaccurate statements about SOCE (Sexual Orientation Change Efforts) since the American Psychological Association’s publication of Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation (APA, 2009).”

“Authored by NARTH member Robert Vazzo, MFT, the complaint delineates how the SF CAMFT Board of Directors has seriously misrepresented the APA’s findings on its website (www.sfcamft.org).”

“NARTH members are very concerned about the publication of accurate information about SOCE, Vazzo says, as misrepresentation of the facts has resulted in professional marginalization of therapists who do such work, as well as continuing attempts by CAMFT to make SOCE unethical. …”
