Beyond Critique: The Misuse of Science by UK Professional Mental Health Bodies (1st Edition)
“It is high time that a well-informed critique such as this was taken more seriously. Creeping ideology over the last few decades has produced adherence by professional bodies to largely unexamined ethical positions, astonishingly oppressive to some of their members and destructive to the lives of many clients.” Neil Whitehead, PhD.
The Right to Decide: Seeking justice for choices around unwanted same-sex attractions
Most of the stories in this book demonstrate the major and profound influence of faith on behaviour. Yet what matters here is not the issue of faith, but the individual’s right to choose how they want to live.

Yet if they voice a similar faith based conviction as regards their sexuality and preferred lifestyle, they find themselves condemned.

By sharing their personal experiences and professional reflections on the issues of harm and ethical carein the provision of change oriented intervention, O’Callaghan and Davidson have provided a helpful corrective to this state of affairs”
Beyond Critique: The Misuse of Science by UK Professional Mental Health Bodies
A politically correct ideology is rapidly encroaching on the western world, an ideology which is subtly reshaping the values of society as regards attitudes to sexuality. The shock lies not in the fact of reshaping, for society must always adapt or die, but in the discovery that significant areas of scientific endeavour are now influenced by ideology rather than by pure research.
