The six major parts of an American Psychological Association (APA) research paper include: title page, abstract, introduction, method section, results section, discussion section, and references section (Weathington, 2010, 156).

The second page contains the abstract, which gives a short description of the…

In earlier studies, clinicians treated same-sex sexual desires through aversion therapy interventions, this form of therapy focused on physiological stimulation. The goal of this treatment is to reduce sexual arousal of same-sex stimuli and attraction, decrease interest in sexual desires with same sex partners, increased interest in sexual arousal in opposite sex partners, increased marriage and relationships with opposite sex, and improving quality of life and mental health (APA).

Reorientation therapy is therapy that people with homosexual or bisexual tendencies come to for gender-role reorientation, or to become heterosexual as some might argue. Until recently, Gagnon (2015), reports that the underlying assumptions that a therapist is trying to convert an individual to heterosexuality is actually false, and adds that a client can explore his heterosexual potential without having to convert. This has been a hot topic across the last several years with major bills being…
