But now the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force says this same Columbia University psychiatrist is selling "snake oil packaged as science.">qZG2nWall Street Journal Review & Outlook Taste Straight Talk May 11, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281LoP$ ( @The Human Rights Campaign accuses him of "anti-gay views, close ties to right-wing political groups and lack of objective data." Barbara Warren, a psychologist at the Lesbian and Gay Service Center, told the New York Post that she "cannot believe Columbia would allow any of its professors to do anything like this." &AZ?3nWall Street Journal Review & Outlook Taste Straight Talk May 11, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281LoP$ ( What is the treason that accounts for this shift?

L4ZDPXZxXF(4Wall Street Journal Commentary: Psychiatry and Homosexuality Robert L. Spitzer, May 23, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281tP( ( In 1973, I opposed the prevailing orthodoxy in my profession by leading the effort to remove homosexuality from the official list of psychiatric disorders. For this, liberals and the gay community respected me, even as it angered many psychiatric colleagues. I said then -- as I say now -- that homosexuals can live happy, fulfilled lives. If they claim to be comfortable as they are, they should not be accused of lying or of beingin denial. FZh5Wall Street Journal Commentary: Psychiatry and Homosexuality Robert L. Spitzer, May 23, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281tZ( ( Now, in 2001, I find myself challenging a new orthodoxy. This challenge has caused me to be perceived as an enemy of the gay community, and of many in the psychiatric and academic communities. The assumption I am now challenging is this: that every desire for change in sexual orientation is always the result of societal pressure and never the product of a rational, self-directed goal. 0PE6Wall Street Journal Commentary: Psychiatry and Homosexuality Robert L. Spitzer, May 23, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281tP( ( This new orthodoxy claims that it is impossible for an individual who was predominantly homosexual for many years to change his sexual orientation  not only in his sexual behavior, but also in his attraction and fantasies -- and to enjoy heterosexuality. Many professionals go so far as to hold that it is unethical for a mental-health professional, if requested, to attempt such psychotherapy.ZGWall Street Journal Commentary: Psychiatry and Homosexuality Robert L. Spitzer, May 23, 2001 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, 10281tP( ( )This controversy erupted recently, when I reported the results of a study that asked an important scientific question: Is it really true that no one who was predominantly homosexual for many years could strongly diminish his homosexual feelings and substantially develop heterosexual potential? .*yEHWall Street Journal Commentary: Psychiatry and Homosexuality Robert L.

The basic concepts of pro-gay theology and ego-syntonic will not be included in the discussion, rather the assumption is that Christians who struggles with unwanted same-sex attractions. Basic understanding of Same-sex attraction, its theoretical origin and developmental manifestations will be introduced. Gender-Identity formation, sexual abuse and enmeshment will be included as foundational understandings. Trauma and shame-based compulsive cycles will be discussed to introduce the concept of how sex and the various manifestations of sex can be conceptualized as an addiction in the gay scene. Specific counseling techniques will not be included, instead the basic recovery segments will be discussed. Issues such as the gender of the counselor, over-adulation and devaluation, and stages of the recovery will be explained. Finally, the realistic expectations of counseling will be used to conclude this presentation.6:ZZ"% fH  0޽h ? ̙33 0 ~v (  ^  S X   p  c $@X @    We developed specific questions for these key homosexual indicators. Sexual attraction during a one year period on a subjective scale that goes from 100 (exclusively homosexual) to 0 (exclusively heterosexual). The subject picks any number from 100 to 0. Lustful thoughts or daydreaming about having sex with the same sex  from never, a few times a year, a few times a month, a few times and week and every day in a one year period. Same sex fantasies during masturbation  the percent of occasions of masturbating Same sex fantasies during heterosexual sex  the percent of occasions of sex.

About three quarters of the men and half of the women were currently heterosexually married.

Many nonreligious therapists that we sought referrals from were reluctant to get in touch with former patients. This may, in part, account for the unusually high proportion of our sample that was very religious. The great majority of subjects had publicly spoken in favor of efforts to change homosexual orientation. Indeed, the primary motivation for participating in the study for almost all subjects was their interest in providing evidence, from their own experience, that homosexuality can be changed and to offer hope to others.

The onset of sexual arousal to same sex was about 12 years. About 18 years later is the beginning of the change effort that they found helpful (often preceded by one or more change efforts that were not helpful..including, often, therapists who told them they had no choice but to accept their homosexuality). After two years into the change effort, they begin to feel different sexually. The vast majority of subjects reported this change as being gradual, and often starting with diminution of homosexual feelings and gradual emerging or intensification of heterosexual feelings. Three years later, after about five years of the change effort, it ends for 78% of the subjects. The remaining 12% report that the change effort continues up to the present time, usually referring to continuing to attend an ExGay support group or having a life-long struggle with the underlying issues that they believe caused their homosexuality.  $wH  0޽h ? a(z 0 :2 $(  $^ $ S X   , $ c $|ׂX @    Why did the subjects want to change?

AFTER, on average, they are in the high heterosexual range, even more so for the females.
