Gerald Koocher

Psychoquackery

Koocher ha sviluppato un interesse per le teorie, terapie e strumenti di valutazione della salute mentale privi di credito nella comunità scientifica e che sono diventati di uso comune. In merito al NARTH, ha dichiarato che l'American Psychological Association non ha nulla da obiettare agli psicologi che forniscono supporto terapeutico ai loro clienti per aiutarli a raggiungere l'obiettivo scelto liberamente di sviluppare il proprio potenziale eterosessuale. Ha brevettato il termine psychoquackery, fornendo materiali divulgativi per il pubblico, che includono i seguenti lavori:
