Case Stories of Reparative Therapy

by Joseph Nicolosi PH D, Linda A Nicolosi (Introduction)

Overview

Is change possible? Pioneering therapist Joseph Nicolosi, Ph.D. offers a fascinating exploration of his unique therapeutic approach to male homosexuality.. The reader is invited to observe Dr. Nicolosi in actual conversation and interaction with a representative array of clients covering a broad range of personalities, issues and situations--but all sharing in common an intense disaffection with their homosexual inclinations and interpersonal relations. Case Stories of Reparative Therapy^TM offers an at times heartbreaking yet always uplifting survey of the intimate workings of the human psyche and a surprisingly revealing glimpse into the practice of a courageous, insightful and genuinely caring psychologist. Although Reparative Therapy^TM has helped thousands of clients overcome their ambivalence, loneliness and despair through straightforward talk, firm guidance, and compassionate wisdom, he offers here an honest account of success and failure, progress and disappointment, determination and growth. No reader, male or female, gay or straight, can come away from these case stories without a deeper understanding of the homosexual condition, and an enhanced appreciation of those affected by it.

About the Author

Joseph Nicolosi, Sr., Ph.D., passed away in 2017 at the age of 70, after a long career working with thousands of men who came to him with unwanted homosexuality. Dr. Nicolosi was the originator of Reparative Therapy(TM), a U.S. Patent Office trademarked term. Reparative Therapy(TM) is not to be confused with the generic concept of "conversion therapy." Dr. Nicolosi was the founder and Clinical Director of the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic, the largest such practice in the country. He was also co-founder of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). Dr. Nicolosi received his training at the New School for Social Research and the California School of Professional Psychology.

Linda Nicolosi is the widow of Joseph Nicolosi (Sr), Ph.D.
