The proposed guidance document wants to limit types of therapy presumably because its authors feel those types of therapy are wrong, misguided, hurtful, etc. Others do not see them as being that. The solution is simple. If you do not agree with the therapy, do not use it. If you are the parent of a minor, you do have authority over that minor. If the authors are concerned about parents forcing a minor to take this therapy against the minor's will, time will take care of the problem.  More importantly , good parents will not force this therapy on their minor children if the child really does not want it.  In the case of bad parents, there unfortunately will be stress, but the answer is not to take away something that others might find useful. No one would suggest getting rid of the internet and depriving it to all, simply because bad actors used it for nefarious purposes.  While it is not easy to "fix" bad parenting, the solution does not lie in taking tools away from the total population.
