Summary

For the therapy of unwanted same-sex attraction, very few people have had the depth of experience and wide-ranging success of Joe Nicolosi. A master in the field has here distilled that experience equally for the professional and the interested layperson. Every genuiely open-minded therapist should be familiar with the important insights that Dr. Nicolosi provides. -- Jeffrey Burke Satinover.
