“When LGBTQ+ ‘Cured’ Psychiatry: The History You Never Knew! An Ethical Retrospective”
Presenter: William S. Meyer, MSW
November 3, 2018 - 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | The Cosmos Club, Washington, DC
This year’s lecture, “When LGBTQ+ ‘Cured’ Psychiatry: The DSM History You Never Knew: An Ethical Retrospective,” will explore the psychiatric diagnosis of homosexuality as a treatable psychopathology and the civil rights struggle that got it deleted from psychiatry’s official nomenclature. Over the years, many people suffered severe psychological injury by the very people who were ostensibly there to help them. Some of this tragic legacy continues today. This multi-media presentation begins in the 1950’s and takes the audience through the tumultuous 60’s and 70’s up to the present to demonstrate the legacy and implications of psychiatry’s once implacable position that “homosexuality is treatable psychopathology.” Click here for more information and to register now
