Homosexuals Can Be Converted To Heterosexuals

 


"The majority of participants gave reports of change from a predominantly or exclusively homosexual orientation before therapy to a predominantly or exclusively heterosexual orientation in the past year. Thus, there is evidence that change in sexual orientation following some form of reparative therapy does occur in some gay men and lesbians."

"As a group, the participants reported large and statistically significant reductions in the frequency of their homosexual thoughts and fantasies that they attributed to conversion therapy or self-help. They also reported large improvements in their psychological, interpersonal and spiritual well-being."


"Evidence from the study suggested that change of homosexual orientation appears possible for some and that psychological distress did not increase on average as a result of the involvement in the change process."


"Results showed that being married, feeling disconnected with other men prior to seeking help, and reduced conflict in expressing nonsexual affection toward other men related to goals consistent with SOCE. Participants perceived the most helpful sexual orientation change interventions to be a men's weekend/retreat, a psychologist, and a mentoring relationship, and the two most helpful techniques to be understanding better the causes one's homosexuality and one's emotional needs and issues and developing nonsexual relationships with same-sex peers, mentors, family members, and friends."



"Results of t-tests of the means of baseline and final well-being measures revealed a clinically and statistically significant improvement in well-being.... The results demonstrate statistically significant fluidity of SAI toward heterosexual identity."
