:Aversion therapy has had almost a century of use, during which it has proven itself remarkably ineffective.  Although, this article is remarkably in need of cleanup.  -Seth Mahoney 21:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC}
Hello everyone! I plan on adding information pertaining to the effectiveness/problems associated with aversion therapy. I will pull information from thisHallam, R.; Rachman, S. (1972-11-01). "Theoretical problems of aversion therapy". Behaviour Research and Therapy. 10 (4): 341–353. doi:10.1016/0005-7967(72)90057-5. ISSN 0005-7967. peer-reviewed scientific journal to support my work. Hopefully, this will provide readers with a better understanding over the pros and cons pertaining to aversion therapy. Aebner01 (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 14:08, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

message: I'm adding the cleanup tag for the following reasons:
:1.  The article doesn't go into much detail on what aversion therapy is, how it is supposed to work, what methods are used, etc.
:2.  "One patient said of aversion therapy" - what patient?  Who said this?  Where is it documented?

message: Don't forget the Simpsons episode "No Disgrace Like Home" (the one where they all go to group therapy and shock each other) - the therapist specfically refers to aversion therapy while introducing the procedure.--4.244.27.33 21:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

message: While much of the article focuses on homosexuality, it is not an LGBT issue as aversion therapy has only been used to attempt to convert gay men. Aversion therapy is much wider than that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eedo Bee (talk • contribs) 10:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you mean that "aversion therapy has not only been used to attempt to convert gay men". Even though this is correct, it doesn't mean that this article doesn't fall within the LGBT project since attempted conversion of gay men and women using aversion therapy is common and a significant issue for the gay community. An article does not have to be only about the subject of a project to legitimately fall within that project's scope. Best, Gwernol 12:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Homosexuality 

message: I added an NPOV tag here because it contains the following opinions:
*"However, it is important for regulatory bodies to discuss the use of aversives and punishment techniques."
*"While in some cases the means is jusified by the end effect, behavior analysts need to remember that their overaching goal is to do no harm[3]"
see WP:NPOV for how to fix this. Benwing (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I see that this article previously contained references to the use of aversion therapy in attempted homosexual conversion therapy. There appears to have been some prior discussion on this, and the passage did inappropriately editorialize, but removing all references to this use of aversion therapy seems misleading. 
Is there a basis for it not to be included? 63.140.100.166 (talk) 22:04, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
