Dr. Nicolosi discusses therapy aimed at reducing unwanted same-sex attractions and developing heterosexual potential. Interviewer: journalist Michel Lizotte

My name is Dr. Joseph Nicolosi. For many years, I have been assisting men and women --mostly, persons who are still at a crossroads about their sexual identity-- to reduce their same-sex attractions and explore their heterosexual potential.

Perhaps you experience same-sex attractions, but you believe you were not destined to be gay. You believe that these feelings do not represent "who you really are."

If this is your belief, then you may be interested in my posted videos and my website, josephnicolosi.com. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who shares your vision of humanity. I believe that our bodies tell us who we are, and that our bodies have made us for heterosexuality, gender complementarity, and opposite-sex parenting.

I have helped many men reduce their unwanted same-sex attractions, so that they lose their compelling, life-disrupting power, and assisted them in exploring and developing their heterosexual potential.

In 1992, I and two psychiatrists organized a professional association called NARTH-- the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (see www.narth.com). Today, NARTH has over 1000 members around the world.

On the NARTH website, see "What Research Shows: NARTH's Response to the American Psychological Association's Claims on Homosexuality." This paper examines over 100 years of professional and scientific literature on the subject of unwanted homosexuality, offering a strong case that for at least some people, sexual orientation and sexual identity can be modified.
