"Homosexuality USED to be in the DSM II as a diagnosed disorder, i assume that when HLA opened up they used that as part of a criteria on their application for enrollment...as of about 2 years ago they took it off their applications...below is the quote from The A.P.A. Normalization of Homosexuality, and the Research Study of Irving Bieber:
The factors that determined the decision of the APA to delete homosexuality from DSM-II were summarized as follows:
Gay activists had a profound influence on psychiatric thinking.
A sincere belief was held by liberal-minded and compassionate psychiatrists that listing homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder supported and reinforced prejudice against homosexuals. Removal of the term from the diagnostic manual was viewed as a humane, progressive act.
There was an acceptance of new criteria to define psychiatric conditions. Only those disorders that caused a patient to suffer or that resulted in adjustment problems were thought to be appropriate for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.
Just to clear up the whole homosexuality as not a dx disorder...
thanks

Well, once again, you're assuming. I've seen the most current admissions applications to both Hidden Lake and Ridge Creek (who both are on the DSM IV now) and homosexuality is still listed as a disorder on page 3 (I think) of the application. Try again.

I just looked at both applications for Ridge Creek and for Hidden Lake and neither one state anything about homosexuality.
