"In this self-help book, ex-gay psychotherapist 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 theories of Joseph Nicolosi and Elizabeth Moberly. Cohen's approach is sympathetic and rational and leans mostly on psychosocial factors, but he also assumes nondenominational religious affiliation." The Library Journal, July 2001 "In this book, Richard Cohen shares his compelling personal story in which he journeys from homosexuality to a new life as husband and father. The transition has offered him valuable insights into the nature and healing of same-sex attractions." Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Author, Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality, President, National Assoc. for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality "In the midst of controversy over homosexuality, Coming Out Straight presents a clear understanding of the causes and healing of same-sex attractions. This is an invaluable resource for the mental health professional, clergy, and those who struggle themselves."
"I strongly recommend Coming Out Straight for both homosexuals and heterosexuals. It is compassionately written with clarity and precision for those wishing to gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of homosexuality and for those struggling to change." Rabbi Samuel Rosenburg, LCSW, Clinical Director, JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality) "Coming Out Straight is a lifesaving book for our families. It is a must read for those who need to learn to love those who deal with same-sex attractions." Regina Griggs, National Director, PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
