However as a person with s degree in psychology and one who is always looking for ways to understand my own family dynamics it does offer some interesting thoughts. Would like to be able to see some of the case studies to form a further opinion to see it I would be interested in reading any more of the book.

And she specifically said that "Healing does not mean not being homosexual." <br /><br />That said, this books seems a tiny bit out there for me.

I am not a psychologist and I am thankful that we have people that have studied this field and are willing to help those with their needs. I can see that someone may be trying to replace a family member by someone else, but I would think the number of people turning to a homosexual lifestyle because of trying to unconsciously replace a family member would be small percentage … my opinion only. I have some friends that are homosexual and they appear to have very normal life with their mother and father. I do have problem with people taking the approach that homosexuality is an illness and as such needs to be cured … again my opinion. I am not homosexual, and I also respect those that want to live their life this way. I found this review to be intriguing, but at the same time very controversial.
