More bad and disproved science which can lead to increased levels of anxiety, depression and suicide ideation.
This guy is so fascinated with homosexuality. What is this guy afraid of in himself which he is trying to work out through this kind of dangerous writing?
Reparative Therapy is NOT Therapy November 4, 2009

Reparative Therapy is not accepted by any therapist association anywhere. It has been thoroughly debunked. There is no scientific evidence to support it. What there is wide evidence on is the high suicide rate amongst LGBT teens who are subjected to being treated as they are not normal and need to change something that is impossible to change. This book is not clinical and actually dangerous.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. So-called "Reparative therapy" has been completely debunked, and the American Psychological Association has come out with a statement to that effect. A large number of people who have been harmed by this misguided unscientific practice, and there is an increased suicide rate among it's survivors. To use these methods is to risk harm to your clients and to open yourself up to litigation for malpractice, for which your clients will have a solid case.
This is really damaging! October 26, 2009

This book has the potential to induce suicidal feelings in the people who read it. Telling someone that who they are is wrong/unacceptable/in need of change is damaging and irresponsible. There is nothing that needs to be "repaired".
Stay away from this book and report reparative therapists October 25, 2009

So-called "reparative therapy" is both ineffective and unethical. It doesn't work and just increases shame and guilt around same-sex attraction. I'm a therapist who has seen many clients over the years harmed by reparative therapy. If you have been to a therapist who practices reparative therapy, please report that person to the appropriate licensing board and tell the board how you've been harmed. There is nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian, bi or trans, period.
