Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gay activists' remonstrations have made therapy intended to make homosexuals heterosexual newsworthy and, they hope, notorious. To read ex-gay counselor Cohen is to wonder why they don't adopt a live-and-let-live stance. Yes, Cohen believes homosexuality is not inborn but the result of emotional traumas and developmental miscues in childhood that can be countered effectively by the therapeutics he lays out in the book's big second part and endorses with patient success stories. But in the third, concluding part, he writes that homophobia must be healed, too, and that homosexuals who don't want to shouldn't be coerced to change; rather, families and friends should continue in loving relationship with them, hoping for change. As an ex-gay, he acknowledges the truth in many homosexual advocates' complaints, and as a Christian, he pleads personal and social compassion for gays. Call this stance mistaken, especially since it is based in part on social science as dubious as the gay-supportive studies Cohen debunks. It isn't malicious. Ray Olson

From Library Journal
In this self-help book, which contains a foreword by Dr. Laura Schlessinger, ex-gay therapist Cohen (the author of Alfie's Home, a children's book about a sexually abused boy) writes for gays and lesbians who want to transition to heterosexuality. His comprehensive, well-written, well-organized, and heavily referenced guide views homosexuality as a symptom of disrupted affiliation with the same-sex parent and incomplete feelings of maleness/femaleness, building on the psychological theories of Joseph Nicolosi and Elizabeth Moberly. At least 30 ex-gay platform books are in print, most religious but some primarily psychological see the web site of Exodus/Regeneration Books (www.exodusnorthamerica/org/resources) and NARTH, Nicolosi's organization (www.narth.com). Cohen's approach is sympathetic and rational and leans mostly on psychosocial factors, but he also assumes nondenominational religious affiliation. The ex-gay movement is highly controversial and its activities considered both damaging and misleading by many medical and psychological professional groups and by most gay/lesbian rights proponents. This book is thus recommended for libraries with large gender collections covering different perspectives, which should also stock Calculated Compassion: How the Ex-Gay Movement Serves the Right's Attack on Democracy (a report from Political Research Associates, 1998), Finally Free: Personal Stories; How Love and Self-Acceptance Saved Us from "Ex-Gay" Ministries (Human Rights Campaign Foundation, 2000), and Mel White's Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America (S. & S., 1994).

Make that zero Stars.
This person has crappy relationship to his parents and trouble finding a loving partner and then he blames it all on homosexuality?
How logic is that?
First of all, you cannot "heal" homosexuality, because it is no disease. So don't worry, you can't catch it...
Secondly, no one claims that it is always easy to be gay, but simply pretending to be straight (for in my opinion, that's what it boils down to) doesn't make things easier for you. On the contrary, I think that you are likely to end up in an emotionally disrupting confusion that - believe it or not - even the church and therapy cannot untangle.
Lastly, how dare anyone write "somebody you know needs this book" on the cover. I feel humiliated by that. I most certainly do not need anything that forces me to do anything I do not want to do and nobody, I repeat nobody has the right or the justification to judge or criticise the homosexual lifestyle.
But if you want to throw away your money and end up unhappy in exchange, feel free to purchase this "book".
PS: What "gay lobby"??? You must be kidding.

It is good that there's people like Cohen, who take a stand againt an overwhelming gay-lobby and actually present another point of view. Very encouraging book.

The authors want everyone to become "straight" after reading his terribly bad written, prejudices-filled little book. On the first page you can read: "someone you know needs this book", and right after, they just speak about tolerance and other "correct" issues, in a desperate try put some make-up on the integrist contents of this "work" and sell them as modern, scientific observations. Desolating joke, made me wish I would be veeeery gay...
