Homosexuality used to be considered a psychological disorder but that has not been true since the publication of the 3rd Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in the 1980s. The American Psychological Association considers any attempt to "treat" (i.e., get rid of) homosexuality to be unethical. An exception is when the homosexuality is a source of considerable distress or anxiety for the patient/client, but in such a case, it is the anxiety that is treated, not the sexual orientation.
