  • National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), formerly National Association for Research and Treatment of Homosexuality, is a non-profit organization that offers conversion therapy and other regimens intended to change the sexual orientation of individuals who experience unwanted sexual attraction to members of the same sex. NARTH's leaders describe their organization as "dedicated to affirming a complementary, male-female model of gender and sexuality. " NARTH was founded in 1992 by Joseph Nicolosi, Benjamin Kaufman, and the late Charles Socarides. Its headquarters are in Encino, California, at the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic. The American Psychological Association has stated: "Although there is insufficient evidence to support the use of psychological interventions to change sexual orientation, some individuals modified their sexual orientation identity (i.e. , group membership and affiliation), behavior, and values. They did so in a variety of ways and with varied and unpredictable outcomes, some of which were temporary. Based on the available data, additional claims about the meaning of those outcomes are scientifically unsupported. " NARTH's leaders disagree with the longstanding consensus of the behavioral and social sciences and the health and mental health professions is that homosexuality per se is a normal and positive variation of human sexual orientation and that homosexuality per se is not a mental disorder. NARTH's leaders support the use of conversion therapy. Indeed, NARTH is the main secular organization advocating conversion therapy. Mainstream American medical and scientific organizations reject conversion therapy as ineffective at best, and harmful at worst. American Psychiatric Association states that "efforts to repathologize homosexuality by claiming that it can be cured are often guided not by rigorous scientific or psychiatric research, but sometimes by religious and political forces opposed to full civil rights for gay men and lesbians" and "'Reparative' therapy literature also tends to overstate the treatment's accomplishments while neglecting any potential risks to patients. APA encourages and supports research in the NIMH and the academic research community to further determine 'reparative' therapy's risks versus its benefits."
  • Die National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality ist eine nicht-kommerzielle Vereinigung mit Sitz in Encino, Kalifornien, USA, die der Ex-Gay-Bewegung zugerechnet wird. Die Vereinigung betrachtet Homosexualität als eine veränderbare Orientierung und sieht sich selbst als Interessenvertretung von Homosexuellen, die diese zu ändern wünschen. NARTH sieht die Kritik an ihren Behandlungsmethoden hauptsächlich als politisch motiviert an. Mitglieder sind nach eigenen Angaben in erster Linie Psychoanalytiker, Psychiater, Psychologen und Sozialarbeiter, die sich mit psychologischer Behandlung und Forschung über Homosexualität befassen sowie weitere Einzelpersonen, die die Ziele von NARTH unterstützen.
  • Национальная ассоциация по исследованию и терапии гомосексуальности (National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, NARTH) — организация, ставящая перед собой цель «терапии гомосексуальности». NARTH отказывается признать решение ВОЗ или национальных психиатрических и психологических ассоциаций об исключении гомосексуальности из списка патологий и продолжают считать гомосексуальность сексуальным отклонением (девиацией).
  • 同性戀研究及治療全國協會（The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality，簡稱為NARTH），成立於1992年，是美國的一個研究並致力於轉變同性戀者的性傾向的團體。 NARTH反對美國心理學會1973年認定同性戀並非心理疾病的結論。美國醫學與科學界的多數團體和人士認為，轉變治療令人擔心，並可能有害；而且有關的討論高度政治化，雙方互相指責研究動機及學者人品。
