Tomorrow, August 17, 2011, the perverts are bringing a fresh assault on
the moral fiber of our country. Just as the sodomites piggybacked on the
woman's movement - so the pedophiles are riding the coat- tails of the
homosexual normalization success. The Daily Caller is reporting of a
conference taking place tomorrow - having the goal of changing the identity
of the ultimate perverts to* "minor - attracted persons."*

If a small group of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals have
their way at a conference this week, pedophiles themselves could play a role
in removing pedophilia from the American Psychiatric Association’s bible of
mental illnesses — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM), set to undergo a significant revision by 2013. Critics warn that
their success could lead to the decriminalization of pedophilia.
The August 17 Baltimore conference is sponsored by B4U-ACT, a group of
pro-pedophile mental health professionals and sympathetic activists.
According to the conference
brochure<http://www.b4uact.org/science/symp/2011/>,
the event will examine “ways in which minor-attracted persons [pedophiles]
can be involved in the DSM 5 revision process” and how the popular
perceptions of pedophiles can be reframed to encourage tolerance.
Researchers from Harvard University, the Johns Hopkins University, the
University of Louisville, and the University of Illinois will be among the
panelists at the conference.
B4U-ACT has been active attacking the APA’s
definition<http://members.shaw.ca/pdg/pedophilia_is_defined.html>of
pedophilia in the run up to the conference, denouncing its description
of
“minor-attracted persons” as “inaccurate” and “misleading” because the
current DSM links pedophilia with criminality.

Pedophilia, Minor-Attracted Persons, and the DSM:

------------------------------
This day-long symposium will facilitate the exchange of ideas among
researchers, scholars, mental health practitioners, and minor-attracted
persons who have an interest in critical issues surrounding the entry for
pedophilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. The symposium will address
critical issues in the following areas:
- Scientific and philosophical issues related to the DSM entry on
pedophilia and/or hebephilia
- Effects of the DSM entry on stigma, availability of mental health
services, and research
- Ways in which minor-attracted persons can be involved in the DSM 5
revision process
It is crucial that the DSM be based on the most accurate and complete
scientific information available, and on careful consideration of effects on
the welfare of patients and society. This is especially true for the DSM
entry on pedophilia; it has an enormous impact on the beliefs and practices
of mental health professionals, the criminal justice system, the media, and
the public. It also has a profound effect on adults and teenagers who are
emotionally and sexually attracted to children or adolescents, on the
availability of mental health services for them, and on relevant research.
The revision of DSM currently underway provides both the opportunity and the
necessity to address fundamental issues surrounding the DSM entry for
pedophilia. Numerous unresolved issues have been raised by scholars,
researchers, and *minor-attracted people.* Controversy has arisen over
scientific issues (e.g., the setting of diagnostic threshholds, the
representativeness of forensic samples), philosophical issues (e.g., the
definition of paraphilia, the nature of disorder, and whether hebephilia
should be considered a disorder), and consequences of the DSM entry (e.g.,
its use in civil commitment hearings, its effects on stigma).
This symposium faciliates the interaction necessary for these issues to be
addressed. The APA emphasizes that DSM revisions should involve the
interaction of researchers from "diverse perspectives, disciplines, and
areas of expertise" and be "sensitive to the needs of clinicians and their
patients." Representatives from all of these groups will play important
roles at this symposium.Social workers and psychologists who attend will
receive 6.0 continuting education units (CEUs).
