EX-Gays?: A Longitudinal Study of Religiously
Mediated Change in Sexual Orientation
Stanton L. Jones,
Mark A. Yarhouse
Stanton L. Jones and Mark A. Yarhouse present social
science research on homosexuals designed to answer
the questions:
- Can persons who participate in focused
religious ministries experience a change in their
sexual orientation?
- Is it harmful for anyone to participate
in such programs?
The results show that outcomes for
this kind of religious program 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 based programs
on those who utilize them.
