Study on Sexual Reorientation Therapy Deflates 'Coercion' Accusations
By Jim Brown

(AgapePress) - A new peer-reviewed study indicates people who want to
leave the {fundamentalist}lifestyle prefer therapists who will assist
them.
Twenty-eight clients who had sought {fundamentalist} reorientation therapy
were asked to rate the helpfulness of their therapists on 20 different
practices. Therapists who worked with their clients toward
{fundamentalist}reorientation were viewed as generally helpful, while
therapists who opposed their client's objective of
{fundamentalist}reorientation were viewed as generally unhelpful on a
variety of dimensions.
Grove City College professor Warren Throckmorton is the study's lead
author. He believes the study debunks the claim that clients are often
coerced into renouncing their {fundamentalist} lifestyle.
"This is a study that does need to be repeated with more clients and
more therapists," Dr. Throckmorton acknowledges, "but what we found in
this particular inquiry of the 28 clients who reported on 80 therapists
is that none of those therapists tried to pressure clients into
reorientation therapy."
According to Throckmorton, 70 percent of the clients who saw themselves
as exclusively {fundamentalist} prior to therapy rated themselves as
either "exclusively" or "predominantly" {fundamentalist} at the time of
the study.
"You know, we can't say from this study how many people in the general
population could make a change like this, but here's another study that
reports people who have made a pretty significant change in their
{fundamentalism}, and that they were pleased by that."
The study will be published in the Winter 2005 issue of the Journal of
Psychology and Christianity. Dr. Gary Welton, also a professor at Grove
City College, collaborated with Throckmorton on the study.
The "Journal of Psychology and Christianity"?
Excuse me for a moment...

That's a good one!
LC~ Never fails to get a chuckle out of the moronic "sources" these fundy
trolls find.

It makes you wonder about the qualifications of the "peers" who
reviewed the paper. Peer review means very little if one's peers are
morons.
