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. A common belief today is that nothing can be done to foster the development of healthy heterosexual orientation in children. But the clinical experience and professional research of Dr. Nicolosi and others indicates otherwise. In this groundbreaking book Joseph and Linda Ames Nicolosi uncover the most significant factors that contribute to a child's healthy sense of self as male or female. Listening to moving recollections from ex-homosexual men and women who describe what was missing in their own childhoods, the Nicolosis provide clear insight for identifying potential developmental roadblocks and give practical advice to parents for helping their children securely identify with their gender. Replete with personal stories from parents, children and ex-homosexual strugglers, A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality offers compassion and hope for all those parents who seek to lay a foundation for a healthy heterosexual identity in their children.

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. Nicolosi is the publications director for the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). She has partnered with her husband, Joseph Nicolosi, on his writing projects over the past twenty years.
