[QUOTE="debeguiled, post: 1116773, member: 7867"] I think Nicolosi views homosexual activity as an attempt by a person to repair their feelings of inadequacy as a male or female. The same way drugs can be called self medicating. By addressing the underlying issues, the need to use lessens, in this case use sex with the same sex, and your more natural instincts towards the opposite sex can emerge. I don't think he claims people are often totally cured, and that the homosexual thoughts and actions can come back under times of stress. It reminds me of an interview I read with a monk who said that when priests stopped adhering to their vows of celibacy, there was usually some other underlying issue that wasn't being addressed, usually anger. You are right about the high motivation, and he claims that the people who come to him often feel homosexual urges and do not want to, and he can help them with that. This would not work on someone who is forced to see him because of family or church. [/QUOTE]
