foreword

In the early 1990's, gay activists in the US tried to get homosexuals recognized as a special “protected group” from the Supreme Court. In order for a certain group of people to receive a protected status, it must be original, homogeneous and constant (which the gay community is not). In this regard, gay activists launched various myths that were readily picked up and circulated by the liberal media. Contrary to scientific facts and common sense, it was claimed that at least one in ten people is homosexual, and that attraction to one's sex is an inborn characteristic, like a race, which is caused by a special gene and unchanged like skin color. In an attempt to equate themselves with the once oppressed national-ethnic minorities, gay activists even introduced such incongruous expressions as “sexual minorities” and “gay people”.

Since the clinical facts about the successful disposal of homosexual attraction and the transition to a normal heterosexual life seriously undermine the myth of the "congenitality" and "immutability" of homosexuality, which builds all the political rhetoric of gay activists, they made a lot of efforts to discredit reorientation therapy, exposing her as useless and even harmful, and for practitioners as charlatans and religious fanatics.

It should be noted that the American Psychological Association unconditionally played up to gay activists in their undertaking, which even led to its accusations of scientific fraud from other professional organizations. The fact is that questions regarding sexuality and gender are in the office APN 44known as the “Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity”, which is almost entirely composed of LGBT activists and their supporters.

In their publicationsintended for the general public, APA selectively cites materials that state that reorientation therapy is ineffective and may be harmful, but in its professional literatureintended for specialists, APA provides more objective information:

“Last empirical evidence show that homosexual orientation can indeed be changed therapeutically in motivated clients, and that attempts at reorientation therapy do not produce emotional harm."

There is no new discovery in this - back in 1973, in his documentAPA proposes to exclude homosexuality from the list of mental disorders, APA said “Modern treatment methods allow a significant part of homosexuals who want to change their orientation to do so”.

APA also published in 2009 report, entirely dedicated to reorientation therapy (SOCE). It is noteworthy that of the 7 authors of this report, who claim to give an impartial and an objective answer to the question about the possibility of changing the undesirable orientation of sexual desire, 6 do not hide their homosexual preferences ... Nevertheless, after conducting an extensive review of the scientific literature, the authors reluctantly admitted that the limited amount of methodologically reliable research does not allow us to conclude that modern non-versatile forms of reorientation therapy ineffective.

According to work 2015 of the year:

“Strong warnings that treatment for unwanted same-sex attraction ‘has the potential to be harmful’ are misleading and harmful to the general public. Organizations like the APA and WHO are essentially deceiving the public when they warn that there is potential harm but fail to explain that:
(1) All psychiatric services for all personal and interpersonal problems can be harmful; 
(2) Responsible science has not yet shown whether the risk of harm in therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction is greater, the same, or less than the risk in any other psychotherapy.”

Honored Doctor of Russia, psychotherapist, sex therapist and psychiatrist Yan Genrikhovich Goland He knows this firsthand: over the 60 years of his psychotherapeutic practice, he has helped 78 homosexual and 8 transgender patients get rid of unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity problems. “They have already become grandfathers, grandmothers and even great-grandmothers,” he says.

Homosexuality - a reversible neurotic disorder

Ian Goland specializes in the psychotherapeutic treatment of neurosis, phobia, personality disorders and sexual psychogenic disorders, which are actually homosexuality and transsexualism (code F66.x1 and F64.0 in ICD-10). The prevalence of homosexuality is fully consistent with that of other neurotic disorders. For comparison:
  • People with compulsive neurosis (OCD) make up 2.3% US population.
  • Lesbians, homosexuals and bisexuals make up 2.3% US population.

Back in 1956, a famous psychiatrist Edmund Bergler noted that homosexuality is “A therapeutically variable unit of neurosis with an excellent prognosis of cure for therapy with a psychodynamic approach lasting from 1 years to 2 years, provided that the patient really wants to change”.

The experience of Jan Goland completely echoes the observations of his American colleague. “Homosexuality can be cured if a person wants to be treated,” says Jan Genrihovich. If there is no such desire, there is no effect. My patients are only those who can’t put up with their homosexuality and have a motive, desire and need to become heterosexual. Do not think that all homosexuals are gay activists who go to parades and pickets. Those who suffer from this are much more than those who gather in gay clubs. ”

How do people become homosexual?

“There is no gene for homosexuality. The American geneticist, who allegedly discovered the gene for homosexuality, soon admitted that he was mistaken, but the media did not tell us anything about it. It is noteworthy that this geneticist was himself a homosexual. If in fact such a "discovery of the era" had been made, then I think that this gene would have been depicted on the flag of people of homosexual orientation, but there is nothing like that. Homosexuals are not born, they become. To become a homosexual, a lot of certain factors must coincide, which influence the formation of a sexual orientation. For example: a boy was born and communicated among girls, they played with dolls, daughters-mothers - in girls' games. He developed a feminine type of behavior. Or, say, he had a detached, indifferent father, indifferent to upbringing, always busy with his own affairs, and the child grew up by itself. In ballet schools, Suvorov, cadet schools, the environment is conducive to the flourishing of homosexuality. And, of course, imprinting - a strong childhood experience associated with sexual satisfaction. Kinsey also noted that most homosexuals form attraction to their sex, engaging in masturbation with homosexual notions and fantasies. There are a lot of factors, you can list them endlessly. The tragedy is that at the age of 16-17, the development of a young man depends on which hands he falls into. If it falls into the hands of a good woman - it becomes heterosexual, falls into the hands of a homosexual - it becomes a homosexual. It is also interesting that many of the children who were raped continue to carry the baton themselves. Growing up, they begin to persecute children, their tendency to pedophilia develops and becomes fixed ”.

How long does the treatment take?

“For me, the course of treatment for a homosexual takes from 10 months to one and a half to two years, and for a transsexual, from two to eight years. It all depends on the knowledge and experience of the treating psychotherapist. When an unskilled psychiatrist or psychotherapist does this, there will be no positive result. Many young psychiatrists now do not even know that homosexuality is curable if the patient has a motive. "

What can you say to those who say that the treatment of homosexuality is just a quackery for the sake of profit, since it is incurable?

“Most of my patients were cured in Soviet times, and treatment in the USSR, as you know, was free. What is the point of tormenting my patient for one and a half to two years, including after-hours work, without getting a penny for it if it is incurable? I work for the result. I took my cured patients to various seminars and conferences of sexopathology, world-famous doctors and professors spoke with them, among them G. S. Vasilchenko, P. B. Posvyansky, A. I. Belkin — they all saw the results of my treatment. Moreover, the famous major psychotherapists have always been proud when they led a homosexual patient to a heterosexual life - Auguste Trout, Milton Erickson, William Masters with Virginia Johnson and many others. ”

It turns out that you are the first and only specialist in Russia, successfully involved in the treatment of homosexuality?

“My teacher - professor Nikolai Vladimirovich Ivanov before me had 2 results, and his teacher - Igor Stepanovich Sumbaev - 7 results. I. S. Sumbaev was the first, the second was N. V. Ivanov, the third was me. ”

Can you treat every homosexual?

"Not. A person can be helped only if he suffers from his attraction, realizes him as painful and has a powerful motivation to get rid of him. If he accepts his inclinations, and, moreover, enjoys them, it is useless to treat him. It’s a waste of time, both our own and the patient.
