New Jersey has become the second state (California being the first) to ban so-called conversion therapy for those under 18:
Ex-gay conversion is widely discredited and refuted by major mainstream psychological groups, such as American Psychological Association. In June, the largest ex-gay group, Exodus International, closed its doors after its executive director Alan Chambers issued an apology acknowledging the pain and hurt others have experienced through failed attempts at conversion therapy.
Troy Stevenson, executive director of New Jerseys LGBT group Garden State Equality, commended Christie for signing the legislation, citing the harm ex-gay therapy can cause.
There is no greater achievement than helping to stop the abuse of our youth, Stevenson said. Todays SOCE ban will do just that. It will protect young people from being abused by those they should trust the most, their parents and their doctors.

The states have both the authority and responsibility to prohibit quackery such as conversion therapy, which is no different than using leaches or bleeding as a treatment for illness.
Consequently, there is nothing inconsistent about the measure, there is no interference on the part of the state with the doctor/patient relationship, as doctors may not administer treatment that is acknowledged to be unsafe and discredited by the medical community, and the OPs premise fails accordingly.
It is strange how the same people that insist the government has no business in the doctor/patient relationship insist that it does.
New Jersey has become the second state (California being the first) to ban so-called “conversion therapy” for those under 18:
“Ex-gay” conversion is widely discredited and refuted by major mainstream psychological groups, such as American Psychological Association. In June, the largest ex-gay group, Exodus International, closed its doors after its executive director Alan Chambers issued an apology acknowledging “the pain and hurt others have experienced” through failed attempts at conversion therapy.
Troy Stevenson, executive director of New Jersey’s LGBT group Garden State Equality, commended Christie for signing the legislation, citing the harm “ex-gay” therapy can cause.
“There is no greater achievement than helping to stop the abuse of our youth,” Stevenson said. “Today’s SOCE ban will do just that. It will protect young people from being abused by those they should trust the most, their parents and their “doctors.”

The "doctor/patient relationship" should only extend to proven, legitimate medical sciences. Conversion therapy isn't one.

The ban is limited to minors, which I am totally okay with. Such therapy has not proven to be efficacious, and may actually do harm.
However, if an adult wants to pay good money for conversion therapy, go right ahead. That is not banned in NJ.
If you want to pay someone to whip you like a puppy, go right ahead. But I would ban that for minors, too.

Way to duck right past the minor/adult issue.

There are no legitimate doctors practicing this.
This about protecting the public from con-men and frauds praying of the fears and prejudices of parents.

There are no legitimate doctors in psychology, why not just ban the entire field?
