Description:
The updating diagnostic criteria for sexually oriented disorders in the 2001 China Classification and Diagnosis of Mental Disorders (CCMD-3) is regarded as the beginning of the depathologisation of homosexuality/bisexuality in Mainland China. However, there are still many homosexual, bisexual and transgender people who have not got rid of forced conversion therapy.
How can civil society organisations and legal professionals assist sexual minorities who have been subjected to conversion therapy?
What is the clinical psychiatry’s attitude towards LGBT conversion therapy?
How do psychiatrists localise Affirmative Counselling that highlighted acceptance in China?
To change sexual minorities’ situation of being stigmatised and corrected, how far do we have to go?
