The results show that outcomes for this kind of religiously-informed psychotherapy are similar to outcomes of therapy for other psychological problems. Such programs do not appear to be harmful on average to individuals.
This research will be of interest to all those who want to know the latest research on sexual orientation change and the effects of religiously-informeded programs on those who utilize them.
Welcome to the Ex-Gays Longitudinal Study Site exploring the research of Stanton Jones and Mark Yarhouse into sexual orientation change efforts. The first published report of our results after three years of assessment of our research participants was in a book, Ex-Gays?, which came out in 2007; release of the book was coordinated with the report of the findings at the 2007 meeting of the American Association for Christian Counseling in Nashville Tennessee.
