Warren… That is possible although from what I know of the players that might be more likely of Cohen than Nicolosi. I say that because Cohen likes to beat pillows and scream which is associated with recovered memory “therapy.”

Yeah, it would more likely be that Nicolosi would make his reparative drive mountain out of ant and mole hills of minor everyday trifles of one’s early life experiences.

It is time for the other egos at NARTH to assert themselves to form an Identity larger than Joe’s.

This is common for psychodynamic, interpersonal therapies and religion generally…it is, for these world views, about what I can change and what I have control over…

Or what God has control over?

Joe may view Joe as NARTH…but I have not and do not.
Byrd’s public statement suggests he does not view Joe as NARTH.
It is an understandable error in communication when your intervention is environmental to overemphasize environmental solutions (reparative therapy)….
NARTH and others need to emphasize that their solution is only partially successful because it deals with only part of the cause, for part of the people.
Emphasizing biology or prenatal development is under explored by NARTH.
