Where is the evidence of your claims of harm beyond aversion therapists (I read someone say they had been banned 50 years ago) - you haven't presented a shred of actual evidence except one instance of PTSD and someone who spoke to you about a deliverance attempt. And in all fairness a therapist's account has to be heard also if there is an accusation made. Rather than mention individual instances which would be due to individual therapists where is the body of scientific research showing a causal link between this sort therapy and harm?
