I am requesting other editors to give comment about adding following lines in a new sub-section "Criticism" on "Views on homosexuality" section: "The former president of APA in 1987, Nicholas Cummings described the removal of homosexuality from DSM-III in 1973 as "The APA has permitted political correctness to triumph over science." [1] He also added that, contemporary APA violated their own " Leona Tyler principle" which means "not to be influenced by politics in case of research and diagnosis" in removing homosexuality from DSM. [2] Another former president of APA, Robert Perloff referred is as the willingness of many psychologists to trample patients rights to treatment in the interest of political correctness and added that making such choice unethical would deprive a patient of a treatment of choice because the threat of sanctions would eliminate any psychologist who engaged in such treatment.

It would be helpful to add links directly to the separate division web sites. It would add a lot of functionality to the page. This could go next to the links for the Wikipedia pages (those that exist, anyway), or in a table in the Resources/external links section. Here's an example from one of the older divisions.
It also would be an interesting project to work with the societies to build out Wikipedia articles on each of the divisions or societies. They definitely pass the notability threshold, and it would be a strategic way of building partnerships to change professional and educational perceptions of Wikipedia. The large umbrella of APA also includes wonderful opportunities to work with societies devoted to specific groups that have historically been under-represented within Wiki and the editing community.

I believe the New Yorker article can and should be included. It is not our job to decide which studies are poorly controlled and which are not. If someone has documentation from another source that the studies are incorrect or invalid (I cannot find anything), I will gladly include that documentation. Otherwise, it is original research. In summation, we have a well-researched article raising concerns from a reliable source. I believe it should be included.
