The SIT Framework at the Christian Medical & Dental Association, Psychiatry Section

May 11, 2012 by Warren Throckmorton 1 Comment

On Monday morning, May 7, I had the privilege of speaking to the Psychiatry Section of the Christian Medical and Dental Association about the Sexual Identity Therapy Framework. The Psychiatry Section of the CMDA always meets at the same time and place as the American Psychiatric Association conference, which met this year in Philadelphia. Thanks to Nadine Nyhus, section Chair, for the invitation.

Most of my time was spent presenting an update on developments regarding the SIT Framework since 2008. In May of that year, I was slated to be a part of symposium during the APA conference on therapeutic issues and same sex attraction. The panel was to be moderated by John Peteet with papers from Bishop Gene Robinson, David Scasta, Albert Mohler and me. The symposium was cancelled after Bishop Gene Robinson backed out. He had become convinced that somehow the panel would support reparative therapy. Of course, nothing could have been further from the truth. However, with his abrupt departure, the panel became the subject of intense controversy with gay advocates demanding that the APA to pull the plug, which they did.

The day after we were scheduled to present in 2008, I presented a talk, along with Rev. Mohler, to the Psychiatry section. My talk Monday picked up where I left off then and included a summary of the 2009 American Psychological Association Task Force Report. As we have pointed out here on this site, the SIT Framework was cited favorably in the APA report as a means of providing sensitive, affirming care for those who present with sexual identity conflicts.

The Power Point presentation I used can be viewed here.
