A university has apologised for carrying out so-called conversion therapy to try and change people's sexual orientation.
The University of Birmingham commissioned a report after a man came forward to the BBC to report he had experienced the "therapy" in the 1970s.
Chris - not his real name - said he went through months of electric shock "treatment".
The university condemned the practice as "unethical, degrading, and harmful".
In 2020, Chris told the BBC that his GP referred him to a psychologist at the university when he became aware of his sexuality in his mid-20s.
He said he underwent the painful and distressing sessions many times a week and they led to more than 40 years of "extreme" post-traumatic stress disorder and poor mental health.
