More Description
This book is primarily meant for those homosexuality afflicted persons who seek practical advice in order to change, or, at least, to constructively and responsibly deal with it. It is written with their needs, anxieties, and weaknesses in mind, as Dr. Van den Aardweg has learned them during more than 30 years of therapy with homosexual persons.
There is a need for such a practical "guide" because there are very few able therapists who want to help the well-intentioned homosexual to change, and because most existing works on homosexuality are about theory, not about every-day self-therapy. Theoretical subjects are discussed, too, in so far as they are necessary to be able to fight the homosexual inclination, and to refute certain myths. This is a Christian psychological approach and it offers the best opportunities for change.
"Rich and insightful. Highly recommended."
-Paul Vitz, Ph.D.
Provides a useful, no-nonsense" guide for self-help therapy. Many readers will be helped by this practical book."
- Joseph Nicolosi, Ph.D., Author, Healing Homosexuality
