Sexual Identity Therapy
Sexual identity therapy (SIT) is a framework to "aid mental health practitioners in helping people arrive at a healthy and personally acceptable resolution of sexual identity and value conflicts."〔 It was invented by Warren Throckmorton and Mark Yarhouse, professors at small conservative evangelical colleges. It has been endorsed by former American Psychological Association president Nick Cummings, psychiatrist Robert Spitzer, and the provost of Wheaton College, Stanton Jones. Sexual identity therapy puts the emphasis on how the client wants to live, identifies the core beliefs and helps the client live according to those beliefs. The creators state that their recommendations "are not sexual reorientation therapy protocols in disguise,"〔 but that they "help clients pursue lives they value." They say clients "have high levels of satisfaction with this approach". It is presented as an alternative to both sexual orientation change efforts and gay affirmative psychotherapy.〔(Narrative Sexual Identity Therapy )〕
Work for developing the framework began with the establishment of the Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity in 2004.〔(Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity )〕 The announcement of the framework for Sexual Identity Therapy were first released on April 16, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= News Release: Sexual Identity Therapy Framework )〕 In June 2007, the guidelines were presented at the American Psychological Association convention in San Francisco. In 2008 the authors announced they were going to review the framework because of "continual changes that are occurring in the area of therapy for individuals experiencing same-sex attractions." In 2009, the APA released a report stating that such an approach is ethical and may be beneficial for some clients.

Gay psychologist Lee Beckstead spoke about his "middle-ground" approach to working with those in conflict with their sexual orientation and religion. He spoke about his approach along with others who spoke about Sexual Identity Therapy at an APA conference. Robert L. Spitzer, who was instrumental in removing homosexuality from the DSM in 1973, endorsed the project, saying it was "a work that transcends polarized debates about whether gays can change their sexual orientation."〔 Michael Bussee, an outspoken critic of the ex-gay movement endorsed the project.〔 It has also been endorsed by several other professionals, including keynote speaker at the controversial organization National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).〔(Psychology Losing Scientific Credibility, Say APA Insiders )〕
