For Therapists

Online Resources for and about Minor Attraction

Are you a therapist or clinician interested in working in the field of minor attraction? Below are some resources and personal stories.

We have two main caveats for therapists:

Conversion therapy is ineffective. If you are interested in converting MAPs to teleiophiles, please desist immediately.
