A queer historian has explained that the practice of conversion therapy has always been so indefensible that even the early psychotherapist Sigmund Freud was an “ally”.
Queer historian Sacha Coward told the BBC Radio 4 documentary
He said: “Homosexuality, non-heteronormativity, non-cisgender people have been discriminated against pretty much since forever.
“The origins of conversion therapy, the idea that you can sit down and through a process transform someone’s gender or sexual identity to the ‘accepted’ one, comes about most prominently around the 1930s. This is when you get this psychodynamic approach.”
