How LGBT* Scientists Falsify Conclusions of Reparative Therapy Research

In July 2020, John Blosnich of the LGBTQ+ Health Equity Center published another research about the "danger" of reparative therapy. In a survey of 1518 members of "non-transgender sexual minorities", Blosnich's team concluded that individuals who have been subjected to attempted sexual orientation change (hereinafter referred to as SOCE*) report a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than those who have not. It has been argued that SOCE is a "harmful stressor that increases sexual minority suicidality". Therefore, attempts to change orientation are unacceptable and must be replaced by an "affirmative withdrawal" that will reconcile the individual with his homosexual inclinations. The study has been called "the most compelling evidence that SOCE causes suicide".

Kocharyan G.S. - Bisexuality and conversion therapy: a case study

Annotation. A clinical observation is given, where it is about “bisexual»To the man, and describes the conversion therapy he underwent with the use of hypnosuggative programming, which proved to be very effective.

Currently, unprecedented efforts are being made to ban the use of conversion (reparative) therapy, which is aimed at changing the homosexual orientation of sexual desire to heterosexual. She is stigmatized and declared not only useless, but also extremely harmful to the human body. So, December 7, 2016 parliament of Malta unanimously passed a law prohibiting the use of reparative therapy. For “changing, suppressing and destroying a person's sexual orientation or gender identity,” this law provides for a fine or jail time. [7] The Bundesrat (representative of the federal states of Germany) on 5 June 2020 approved a law prohibiting this therapy. Deutsche Welle reports that its implementation can be punished with imprisonment for up to one year, and advertising and mediation - a fine of up to 30 thousand euros [1]. In the US, only 18 states, Puerto Rico and Washington DC, have banned conversion therapy for minors. Adults can volunteer for conversion therapy throughout the country [9]... Instagram and Facebook announced the blocking of all posts on these social networks that promote conversion therapy [8].

The assertions that conversion therapy is not only ineffective, but in all cases causes great harm to the body are false. The corresponding argumentation can be found in our articles [3; 4; 6]. Moreover, a number of our works have presented the effective use of conversion therapy [2; 5].

Here is a case from our clinical practice, where conversion therapy was very successful in correcting the direction of sexual desire in a man with bisexual preferences.

Can I change my sexual orientation?

Most of the material below is published in an analytical report. “The rhetoric of the homosexual movement in the light of scientific facts”. doi:10.12731/978-5-907208-04-9, ISBN 978-5-907208-04-9

Key findings

(1) There is a substantial base of empirical and clinical evidence that unwanted homosexual attraction can be effectively eliminated.
(2) An important condition for the effectiveness of reparative therapy is the patient's informed participation and desire to change.
(3) In many cases, homosexual attraction, which can occur during puberty, disappears without a trace at a more mature age.

Homosexuality is treatable. The effects of psychotherapy for homosexuality were associated with significant reductions in same-sex attraction (from 5,7 to 4,1 on the Kinsey scale), identification (from 4,8 to 3,6), and sexual activity. Over 42,7% of SOCE participants achieved at least partial remission of unwanted same-sex sexuality; complete remission was achieved by 14% for sexual attraction and identification, and by 26% for sexual behavior [*]. This is enough to have heterosexual attraction and form normal relationships.

In July 2020, John Blosnich of the LGBTQ+ Health Equity Center published another study on the “dangers” of conversion therapy. After surveying 1518 “non-transgender sexual minorities,” Blosnich’s team found that individuals who had undergone sexual orientation change (SOCE) reported higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than those who had not.

But when another team of scientists, led by Christopher Rosick, analyzed data from “the most representative sample of sexual minorities to date,” the results were polar opposites. Comparing the scores of people who had undergone unsuccessful SOCE treatment with those who had not, there was no difference in the levels of psychological or social harm—the two groups were indistinguishable on every measure. In fact, SOCE was found to significantly reduce suicidality: adults who underwent SOCE after suicidal thoughts or plans were 17 to 25 times less likely to attempt suicide [**].

Jan Goland on the treatment of homosexuality (exclusive video interview)

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”.

Treatment of homosexuality before the era of political correctness

Numerous cases of successful therapeutic correction of homosexual behavior and attraction are described in detail in the professional literature. Report The National Association for the Study and Therapy of Homosexuality presents an overview of empirical evidence, clinical reports and research from the end of the 19th century to the present, which convincingly prove that interested men and women can make the transition from homosexuality to heterosexuality. Before the era of political correctness, it was a well-known scientific fact, which is freely wrote the central press. Even the American Psychiatric Association, excluding syntonic homosexuality from the list of mental disorders in 1974, noted the that “Modern treatment methods allow a significant part of homosexuals who want to change their orientation to do so”.

The translation follows Articles from the New York Times of 1971.

Homosexuality treatment

An outstanding psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and MD, Edmund Bergler wrote 25 books on psychology and 273 articles in leading professional journals. His books cover topics such as child development, neurosis, midlife crises, marriage difficulties, gambling, self-destructive behavior, and homosexuality. Bergler was rightfully recognized as an expert of his time in terms of homosexuality. The following are excerpts from his work.

Recent books and productions have attempted to portray homosexuals as unhappy victims who deserve sympathy. The appeal to the lacrimal glands is unreasonable: homosexuals can always resort to psychiatric help and be cured if they want to. But public ignorance is so widespread on this issue, and the manipulation of homosexuals by public opinion about themselves is so effective that even intelligent people who were definitely born yesterday did not fall for them.

Recent psychiatric experience and research has unequivocally proven that the supposedly irreversible fate of homosexuals (sometimes even attributed to non-existent biological and hormonal conditions) is actually a therapeutically altered unit of neurosis. The therapeutic pessimism of the past is gradually disappearing: today psychotherapy of a psychodynamic direction can cure homosexuality.

By cure, I mean:
1. a complete lack of interest in their gender;
2. normal sexual pleasure;
3. characterological change.
