This book looks at why and how states should legally ban LGBTQ+ ‘conversion therapy’. Few states have legislated against the practice, with many currently considering its legal ban.

Banning ‘Conversion Therapy’ brings together leading academics, legal and medical practitioners, policymakers, and activists to illuminate the legislative and non-legislative steps that are required to protect individuals from the harms of ‘conversion therapy’ in different contexts.

The book considers how best to address this complex and interdisciplinary legal problem which cuts across human rights law, criminal law, family law, and socio-legal studies, and which represents one of the key contemporary problems of LGBTQ+ equality and national and international human rights activism.

Ilias Trispiotis is Professor of Human Rights Law at School of Law, University of Leeds, UK. Craig Purshouse is Senior Lecturer at the School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool, UK.
