      abstract = {"Bringing to light an extreme fundamentalist Christian  view, this insider's perspective offers hope to people  grappling with the aftereffects of a cult-like movement  often known as 'Reparative Therapy.' The movement assumes  that going from gay to straight is easily changeable and  change-worthy, despite decades of psycho/sexual research to  the contrary. Although it did not succeed in making the  author--a Southern Baptist who attended an ex-gay ministry  at a young age--straight, it did undermine his self-esteem  and confuse him significantly, thus leading him to pursue  an advanced degree in sexology in order to help others in  similar positions. Offering a detailed comparison of the  ex-gay world and the phenomenon known as Religious Abuse,  this manual shares a personal journey through the hopeless  mistreatment and manipulative system of ex-gay ministries  and the recovery process involved in regaining strength,  acceptance, and self-worth"--Provided by publisher.},
