Homosexuality. Is it learned, biological...or both?


The answer to this question deeply concerns parents. They want to know how they can
best raise their children. Many would have us believe that nothing can be done to foster the
development of healthy gender identity and heterosexual orientation in children. But the
clinical experience
of Dr. Nicolosi and others, along with a careful look at the professional
literature, indicates otherwise.
In this groundbreaking book, Joseph Nicolosi uncovers the most significant factors that
contribute to children's healthy sense of themselves as male or female. Listening to moving
recollections from ex-gay men and women who describe what was missing in their own
childhoods, Dr. Nicolosi provides clear insight for identifying potential developmental
roadblocks and gives practical advice to parents for helping their children securely
identify with their gender. Replete with personal stories from parents, children and ex-gay
strugglers, A Parent's Guide offers compassion and hope for all those parents who seek to
lay a foundation for a healthy heterosexual identity in their children.

Acerca del autor (2017)

Joseph John Nicolosi was born on January 24, 1947. He received a master's degree from the New School for Social Research in Manhattan and a doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles. He founded the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic in Encino, California in 1980 and co-founded the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality 12 years later. He was a clinical psychologist who believed conversion therapy could diminish people's same-sex attraction. He maintained that people were naturally heterosexual but that childhood trauma, possibly intensified by a domineering mother and a detached father, might lead to homosexuality. He was the author or co-author of several books including Healing Homosexuality and A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality. He died from complications of the flu on March 8, 2017 at the age of 70.
