| | Reparative therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Modern reparative therapy is a re-reading of the earlier, psychological research and stems from the clinical work and theories of Elizabeth Moberly, Ph.D., a British Christian theologian and research psychologist, during the early 1980s. | | | Reparative therapy itself is a highly contentious and controversial topic, and the claims of the ex-gay movement are hotly contested, particularly by various professional medical bodies (see Opponents). | | | Finally, they criticise the way reparative therapies define success: many of their clients appear to still feel homosexual attraction or their orientation appears to not have been changed and the client is merely celibate. |

| | Introduction to reparative and similar therapies |
| | All are, or have been, widespread forms of therapy by a minority of therapists and clergy. | | | Therapists who engage in these therapies are exposing their clients to an unproven, experimental treatment. | | | During therapy, the gay client is encouraged to enter into an emotionally close, non-sexual, non-erotic relationship with another male adult. |

| | The therapy is based on a theory that homosexual relationships grow from needs for affirmation and emotional intimacy that are lacking in the parent-child relationship, he said. | | | Reparative therapy is "a very wide and varied discipline," said the Rev. Margaret G. Payne, chair of the 14-member task force and bishop of the ELCA New England Synod, Worcester, Mass. | | | Warren E. Throckmorton, professor of psychology, Grove City College, Grove City, Pa., told the task force that reparative therapy is one method of reorientation counseling that hopes to repair a person's relationship with his or her same-sex parent. |

| | Some Psychologists Say Reparative Therapy is Unethical |
| | That reparative therapy is controversial is not to be disputed. | | | For theoretical and clinical reasons, I prefer to use the term "reparative therapy" to indicate therapy given to persons questioning their sexual orientation and seeking as a part of their therapy to become more heterosexually responsive. | | | However, reparative therapy as it is currently practiced today, has not been demonstrated to harm clients. |

| | Reparative therapy is a term describing a counseling approach to sexual reorientation. | | | Reparative therapy and reorientation counseling are not synonymous terms. | | | The therapy attempts to re-direct the reparative drive toward healthy nonsexual relationships with same sex peers via the therapist, group counseling, and support groups. |

| | So the next time you hear someone take a shot at reparative therapy remember the root word is therapy and unless we are as a society are ready to admit therapy itself is a worthless fraud incapable of changing any type of undesirable behavior, then we need to seriously rethink our position on reparative therapy. | | | Well you can’t have it both ways, if therapy can’t change behavior, even one that is "hard-wired" then all psychiatrists and psychologists need their licenses revoked and be brought up on charges of defrauding the public. | | | Whether it is alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, obesity, etc. People seek therapy to change their behavior, regardless if it is "hard-wired" or not. |
