Шаблон:Infobox organization The Foundation for Attraction Research (FAR) was a Utah-based research and publishing institute with the goal of providing literature and conducting research supportive of religious teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) on homosexuality, including asserting that sexual orientation change efforts were effective.[1] One of the founders, A. Dean Byrd, was also in leadership of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).[2] FAR published a guidebook for therapists in 2009, and the LDS Church's counseling organization LDS Family Services held a conference based on the book in 2011.[3]Шаблон:Rp The book advised homosexual readers to seek reparative therapy through Evergreen International and LDS Family Services.[3]Шаблон:Rp

History

FAR was founded in 2005[4] and run by mostly professors from the LDS Church's largest university, Brigham Young University (BYU). These included psychology professor Dean Byrd and social work professor Shirley Cox.[5] The board of directors also consisted of BYU English professor Doris Dant,[6] law professor William Duncan,[7] religion professor John Livingstone,[8] and retired psychology professor Gawain Wells.[8] In 2009 the organization published Understanding Same-Sex Attraction through the LDS Church's publishing arm Deseret Book.[9] It advocated therapy to change sexual attractions.[10] In 2012 FAR co-hosted the Reconciling Faith and Feelings conference with the Association of Latter-day Saint Counselors and Psychotherapists (AMCAP).[11][12]
